Here they are referring metabolic reactions/ metabolism.
- Metabolism is sum of various biochemical reactions taking place in our body.
- Metabolic reactions are of two types : catabolism and anabolism.
- Catabolism: In this type of reaction larger molecules are broken down in smaller molecules.
- For example: Breakdown of fat in adipose tissue to fatty acids
- Anabolism: In this type of reaction large biomolecules are produced by combining smaller biomolecules.
- For example: Synthesis of proteins by polymerisation of amino acids.
