Catabolic and Anabolic Reaction

Both Catabolic and Anabolic Reaction

1 Both have to do there jobs to make everything work.
2 Two chemical processes called metabolism.
Additional energy must be supplied to start reaction.


Catabolic Reaction Only

1 Molecules are broken down into smaller components.
2 Energy is released.
3 Exergonic Reaction
4 Change in free energy is negative in these pathways.
EX. Cellular Respiration


Anabolic Reaction Only

1 Small molecules join to make larger ones.
2 Use up energy
3 Endergonic Reaction
4 Change in free energy is positive in these pathways.
EX. Photosynthesis
