Anyagcsere, often translated as metabolism, refers to the complete set of chemical reactions that occur within a living organism to maintain life. These reactions are necessary for growth, reproduction, and responding to the environment. Metabolism can be broadly divided into two categories: anabolism and catabolism.
Anabolism is the process of building complex molecules from simpler ones. This is an energy-requiring process.
Catabolism, on the other hand, is the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy in
The balance between anabolism and catabolism is crucial for maintaining homeostasis. Hormones play a significant role
