Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical processes within the cells of living organisms. These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow, reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments.

Catabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller units. Eg : Respiration.

Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy. Eg : Photosynthesis.
