Extra Information-

• Metabolic processes are of two different types-

1. Anabolic processes or Anabolism- also known as synthetic or constructive processes, these processes are the kind of processes in which simple substances unite to form more complex substances.
2. Catabolic processes or Catabolism- also known as Destructive processes, these processes are the kind of processes in which the more complex substances are broken down into simpler substances in order to release energy.
