Summary Introduction

To identify:

The catabolic reactions.

Introduction:

Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions occurring in the body that break down or build up bio-molecules. All the chemical reactions of metabolism occur in a series of steps called a metabolic pathway. Metabolism can be considered in two parts catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism refers to the reactions in which larger molecules are broken down smaller units or metabolites. Whereas, in the anabolism, the smaller metabolites combine to form larger molecules.

Explanation of Solution

Catabolic reactions are the part of metabolic reactions, in which larger molecules are broken down into smaller metabolites. Catabolism breaks down molecules such as lipids, polysaccharides, proteins and so on. In catabolism, many hydrolysis and oxidation reaction occurred in a catabolic pathway, these reactions tend to be exergonic (-ΔG), and this means energy is released in every reaction that occurred during catabolism. The energy released during catabolism is used in the anabolic reaction.

Conclusion

Hence, catabolic reaction can identify by the release of energy during the breakdown of molecules into smaller units.
