Summary Introduction

To determine: The difference between metabolism, catabolism, and anabolism.

Introduction. The metabolic pathways are often branched. This implies that the same substrate is utilized for two or more separate products. It is important that the branched pathway is regulated carefully to produce all the products in the quantities that are needed by the cell. Many enzymes perform the task of both catabolic and anabolic reactions and thus participate in amphibolic pathways (including both catabolism and anabolism) to save the need for additional materials and energy.

Explanation of Solution

No.CharacteristicsMetabolismCatabolismAnabolism
1DefinitionMetabolism is the process that describe the chemical reaction to maintain the living state of the cell.Catabolism is the process of breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules.Anabolism is the process of the formation of larger compounds and molecules from smaller units.
2Energy outputIt yields energy and also requires energy.It yields energy.It requires energy.
3ExampleThe process of digestion and assimilation is metabolism.The process of breaking down of glycogen into glucose is catabolismThe process of formation of glycogen from glucose is anabolism.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
