Solution

Anabolism Catabolism

Introduction

Metabolic process that builds molecules the body needs. Metabolic process that breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules.

Energy

Requires energy Releases energy

Hormones

Estrogen, testosterone, insulin, growth hormone. Adrenaline, cortisol, glucagon, cytokines.

Effects on Exercise

Anabolic exercises, which are often anaerobic in nature, generally build muscle mass. Catabolic exercises are usually aerobic and good at burning fat and calories.

Example

: amino acids becoming polypeptides (proteins), glucose becoming glycogen, fatty acids becoming triglycerides. proteins becoming amino acids, proteins becoming glucose, glycogen becoming glucose, or triglycerides becoming fatty acids.
