katabolike
Katabolike is a term that refers to the breakdown of complex molecules within an organism into simpler ones, a process that releases energy. This is a fundamental aspect of metabolism, the sum of all chemical processes that occur in living organisms. Katabolike is distinct from anabolike, which is the building up of complex molecules from simpler ones, a process that typically requires energy.
During katabolike, large molecules such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down into smaller units.
The energy released during katabolike is often captured in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves
Common examples of katabolike processes include cellular respiration, the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP, and
