Interpretation:
The reason for breakdown of molecules which takes place in several steps in order to obtain energy should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
- 1. Catabolism
- 2. Anabolism
Protein catabolism: It is defined as breakdown of proteins into smaller units that is into amino acids gets transported finally
Catabolism: The catabolic pathway involves oxidation reactions and produces energy and it converts complex molecules into simple ones
Anabolism: The anabolic pathway involves a series of sequential reactions which converts simple molecules into complex molecules.
