All the activities like growth, reproduction, movements,
responsiveness, development, etc., are due to
metabolism.
Metabolism is of two types, i.e., anabolism and
catabolism. Anabolism involves the synthesis of
complex compounds from simpler ones, e.g..
photosynthesis and catabolism involves the breakdown
of complex compounds into simpler substances, e.g.,
respiration.
