Interpretation: The relation between catabolism and anabolism is to be described.
Concept introduction:
Answer to Problem 74A
The process of catabolism breaks down components into simpler components, whereas the process of anabolism builds up more complex components.
Explanation of Solution
The two major biological processes that collectively make up metabolism are catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is the process by which the body converts complicated molecules into smaller and simpler ones to use those simpler molecules as a source of energy.
The process of synthesizing complex molecules is known as anabolism. In other words, it uses energy to break down molecules, forming larger, more complicated molecules from smaller, simpler ones.
The process of catabolism breaks down components into simpler components, whereas the process of anabolism builds up more complex components.
