Metabolism Process: Catabolism vs Anabolism

Catabolism: The set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units to release energy. 

Krebs Cycle - Acetyl CoA produces ATP, NADH, and FADH.

Glycolysis - Where glucose is broken down into pyruvate molecules, ATP and NADH are produced.

ETC (Electron Transport Chain) transports electrons when they undergo chemiosmosis, as a result ATP is produced. 

Anabolism: It is a metabolic process that uses energy from the sun or ATP to synthesize a large molecule from smaller molecules.

Calvin Cycle - Where carbon fixation takes place and it uses ATP/NADPH to form G3P.

Cyclic - The Cyclic process uses P700 from the sun to produce to form ATP.


Non Cyclic - The Non-Cyclic process uses P680 and P700 from the sun to form ATP and NADPH.

Metabolism: The sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the cell (anabolic/catabolic processes)
