Catabolism vs. Anabolism:<\/strong> Metabolism is a set of various processes which is needed by living things to maintain their lives. Catabolism and anabolism are two of these processes included in it. Both of these processes help in organizing the molecules. The main difference between catabolism and anabolism is that catabolism refers to the breaking down of complex molecules into smaller ones, which release energy, while anabolism is the process of building molecules, which needs energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
