Study Notes

Anabolism and Catabolism

  • Anabolism: A process where simpler substances are transformed into complex substances, storing energy.
  • Catabolism: The breakdown of complex substances into simpler substances, releasing energy.

Homeostasis

  • Homeostasis: The tendency of organisms to maintain a stable internal environment with a consistent composition.

Growth

  • Growth: A process increasing the amount of new substances within an organism. Growth in an individual results from cell division and increased intracellular activities, leading to an increase in mass.
