Anabolic Reactions
Anabolic reactions are metabolic processes in which smaller molecules are built into larger, more complex molecules using energy.
Catabolic reactions
Catabolic reactions are metabolic processes in which larger molecules are broken down into smaller molecules, releasing energy in the process.
Condensation
Condensation is a reaction where two molecules combine, releasing water.
Metabolism
The sum of all chemical reactions occurring in an organism to maintain life, including reactions that break down molecules for energy (catabolism) and reactions that build molecules for growth and repair (anabolism).
