Question

Write the differences between anabolic and catabolic reaction in a tabular form

Answer 1

CatabolismAnabolismDefinition Metabolic processes that break down simple substances into complex moleculesMetabolic processes that break down larger,complex molecules into smaller substancesEnergy– Releases ATP energy– Potential energy converted into kinetic energy– Requires ATP energy– Kinetic energy converted into potentialenergyReaction typeExergonicEndergonicHormonesAdrenaline, Glucagon, Cytokines, CortisolEstrogen, Testosterone, Growth hormone, InsulinImportance– Provides energy for anabolism– Heats the body– Enables muscle contraction– Supports new cell growth– Supports storage of energy– Body tissue maintenanceOxygenUtilizes oxygenDoes not utilize oxygenEffects on exerciseCatabolic exercises are usually aerobic and are good at burning calories and fatAnabolic exercises, often anaerobic innature and are generally muscle mass buildingExamples– Cell respiration– Digestion– Excretion

Answer 2

anabolic                                                                catabolic
1.constructive process                                       1. destructive process
2.synthesis takes place                                      2.lysis takes place
3.molecules combine to form a compund          3.compounds decluster                                                                                   itself to form individual                                                                                               elements
4.eg:H2+1/2 O2 gives ??H2O                            4.NaCl breaks to give                                                                                      Na+  + cl-
