Can someone give me a working definition of catabolism as opposed to anabolism? I would really appreciate it

[Myka]

its in the dictionary

[FullMoonHowlingWolf]

Catabolism - destructive metabolism involving the release of energy and resulting in the breakdown of complex materials within the organism - compare anabolism.
Anabolism - the constructive part of metabolism concerned esp. with macromolecular synthesis - compare catabolism.
