- metabolism is the web of all the enzyme catalyzed reactions in a cell or organism
- process in which one type of molecule is transformed into another, in a series of small steps
- Anabolism is the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler molecules including the formation of macromolecules from monomers by condensationreaction
- builds up larges molecules from smaller ones
- protein synthesis, DNA synthesis, photosysnthesis, Synthesisof complex carbs
- catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler molecules including the hydrolysis of macromolecules into monomers
- larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones
- Digestion of food, cell respiration, digestion of complex carbons
