energistoffskifte
Energi stoffskifte, often referred to as metabolism, is the complex set of chemical processes that occur within living organisms to maintain life. These processes involve the conversion of food into energy that cells can use, as well as the synthesis of essential molecules and the elimination of waste products. At its core, energy stoffskifte can be broadly divided into two main categories: anabolism and catabolism.
Anabolism encompasses the constructive biochemical reactions that build up complex molecules from simpler ones. This process
Catabolism, on the other hand, involves the destructive biochemical reactions that break down complex molecules into
The interplay between anabolism and catabolism is tightly regulated by hormones and enzymes, ensuring that the
