Catabolic – this type of pathway releases energy and is used to break down large molecules into smaller ones (degradation). An example of an anabolic reaction is photosynthesis, where plants ...

Catabolic pathways involve the breakdown of ... or released as heat. Anabolic pathways then build new molecules out of the products of catabolism, and these pathways typically use energy.

The body’s metabolic reactions, may it be anabolic or catabolic, help to convert the food we eat into energy, balance the body’s temperature and even assist in waste removal. Water-Induced ...
