Metabolism is a broad term referring to the chemical reactions occurring in living organizations, which provide energy. Catabolism and Anabolism are types of metabolism. Catabolism is the breaking down of larger molecules into small molecule which yields energy. Anabolism uses energy from the cell to produce larger molecules from smaller components.
