What is the relationship between anabolism and Catabolism

Difference Between Catabolism and Anabolism. Both anabolism and catabolism are metabolic processes, but the two are contrastingly different from each other. • Catabolism produces energy but anabolism uses energy. • In the catabolic pathways, the large molecules are broken down into small monomers whereas, in anabolism, small molecules are connected with each other, to form large molecules
