Key Concepts

Catabolism

Catabolic reactions are processes that break down larger molecules into smaller units, releasing energy stored in chemical bonds. These reactions are typically exergonic, meaning they release energy, which is often harnessed by the cell for various physiological functions. Examples include the digestion of macromolecules and the hydrolysis of compounds like ATP, both of which involve the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler forms.

Anabolism

Anabolic reactions involve the construction of complex molecules from simpler ones, a process that requires an input of energy. These reactions are generally endergonic, meaning they absorb energy, often in the form of ATP, to form new chemical bonds and synthesize important biological structures. Biosynthetic pathways such as lipid synthesis and the formation of macromolecules illustrate how anabolic reactions contribute to growth and repair.
