Anabolism
|
Catabolism
|
1.
It is a constructive process of metabolism
|
It is a destructive process of metabolism
|
2.
In anabolism, complex molecules (e.g. proteins) are
synthesized from simple molecules (Amino acids)
|
In catabolism, complex molecules (e.g. Glycogen) are
broken down into simple molecules (glucose)
|
3.
It is an energy (ATP) requiring process
|
It is an energy (ATP) releasing process
|
4.
It is a “Up-hill” process
|
It is a “Down-hill” process
|
5.
E.g. Protein synthesis, Glycogen synthesis,
Photosynthesis
|
E.g. Glycogenolysis, Glycolysis, Digestion, cellular
respiration
