Growth is the sum total of anabolic and catabolic processes.

Degrowth:

1. Degrowth is a term used to describe the decrease in reserve food and living material of the body.
2. The depletion of food reserve and the body's protein occurs as the body uses them to produce energy.
3. This leads to a decrease in the living material.

Example: Degrowth occurs when catabolism exceeds anabolism.
