Anyagcsere, often translated as metabolism, refers to the sum of all chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. These processes are essential for growth, reproduction, and maintaining the structure of cells and tissues. Metabolism can be broadly divided into two main categories: anabolism and catabolism.
Anabolism is the constructive part of metabolism, where smaller molecules are used to build larger, more complex
Catabolism, on the other hand, is the destructive part of metabolism, where larger molecules are broken down
The balance between anabolism and catabolism is crucial for maintaining homeostasis, the stable internal environment of
