$There \: are \: two \: types \: of \\ metabolic \: processes \: known \: as \\ Anabolism \: and \: catabolism.$

$The \: metabolic \: processes \: which \\ involve \: the \: synthesis \: of \\ molecules \: are \: called \: anabolism. \\ Eg: \: Synthesis \: of \: proteins \\ from \: amino \: acid.$

$The \: metabolic \: processes \: in \\ which \: large \: molecules \: are \\ broken \: down \: into \: smaller \\ are \: known \: as \: catabolism. \\ Eg: \: Sugar \: broken \: down \: into \\ molecules \: of \: water \: and \: carbon \\ dioxide, \: to \: liberate \: energy.$
