Study Notes
Anabolism and Catabolism
- Cells are constantly undergoing autodestruction and autogeneration
- These processes work in a balanced way
- A healthy diet and sufficient sleep are important for these processes
- Living organisms need energy from food
- This energy is recovered through the nutritional process
- A slow metabolism can indicate issues like aging, hormones, illness, medication, or lifestyle choices
- A low energy expenditure results in a body burning fewer calories.
