  • Metabolism: Understanding Chemical Reactions in Living Organisms
    The name for combination chemical changes that build up or break down material in an organism is metabolism.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Anabolism: The process of building up complex molecules from simpler ones, requiring energy.

    * Catabolism: The process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy.

    Together, anabolism and catabolism make up metabolism, the sum of all chemical reactions that occur within an organism.
