Introduction:

Metabolism is the series of chemical reactions, also known as the pathway, that occur in an organism. It is classified into catabolism (breakdown of large molecules and synthesis of smaller products) and anabolism (synthesis of large or complex molecules from smaller products). The catabolic and anabolic reactions release and require energy, respectively. Both catabolic and anabolic pathways are associated with each other in cells.
