Anabolic reactions release energy, while catabolic reactions use energy.
Anabolic Reactions
Biochemical processes in cells that synthesize complex molecules from simpler ones, requiring energy, and crucial for growth, repair, and storage.
Catabolic Reactions
Catabolic Reactions are metabolic processes that break down molecules into smaller units, releasing energy stored in chemical bonds.
Energy
The capacity to do work or produce heat; it exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, and mass energy.
