Summary Introduction

To identify:

The process glycolysis represent anabolism or catabolism.

Introduction:

Anabolism can be defined as the chemical reaction in which smaller units or metabolites combine to form larger molecules by gaining energy released during catabolic reactions. Catabolism refers to the chemical reactions in which larger molecules such as carbohydrates and proteins are broken down into smaller metabolites.
