anyagcserével
Anyagcserével, or metabolism, refers to the complete set of chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow, reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. Metabolism is a fundamental characteristic of all living things and is composed of a vast network of biochemical reactions.
Metabolism can be broadly divided into two main categories: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism involves the breakdown
Anabolism, on the other hand, involves the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler precursors, requiring energy
The metabolic pathways are highly regulated and interconnected. Enzymes, which are biological catalysts, play a crucial
