METABOLISM

The concept of metabolism

Metabolism = all the chemical reactions taken place inside the living organisms Metabolic reactions produce different life processes, e.g. photosynthesis respiration movement growth reproduction

Types of metabolism
Catabolism: break down complex organic molecules into simpler molecules e.g. respiration: gives out energy

Types of metabolism
Anabolism: Build up complex organic molecules from simple molecules e.g. Photosynthesis: requires energy
