What is meant by catabolic and anabolic reactions? Give an example of each.

Catabolic reactions are a type of metabolic reaction that take place within a cell. Larger molecules are separated to form smaller molecules. An example of a Catabolic reaction is cellular respiration where you break down sugars and fats for energy

Anabolic reactions involve the joining of smaller molecules together to form larger, more complex molecules. for example synthesizing glucose is an anabolic process
