Correct answer:
"Anabolism is a type of metabolism that supports cell growth and catabolism is a type of metabolism that produces energy for activity."
Explanation:
- Anabolism = biosynthetic pathways that build complex molecules (e.g., protein synthesis, DNA replication, lipid synthesis). It consumes energy (ATP, NADPH).
- Catabolism = degradative pathways that break down molecules (e.g., glycolysis, beta-oxidation, Krebs cycle) and release energy, often captured as ATP or reducing equivalents.
Both are parts of overall metabolism and are linked by energy carriers (ATP, NADH/NADPH).
