Summary Introduction

To describe:

The major catabolic strategy possessed by Last Common Ancestor.

Concept introduction:

The organisms acquire energy by consuming the food and converting it into smaller particles and generate energy. The energy is used further for the construction of other biomolecules for the building of body with the help of smaller biomolecules.

Catabolism refers to all the destructive processes of the body, in which energy releases. Complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones in catabolism. Energy releases in this process. Catabolic exercises are associated with burning calories. Hormones that function in catabolism include cortisol, adrenaline, glucagon, and cytokines.
