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.
