Compare and contrast catabolic and anabolic pathways

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Catabolism and anabolism are both biochemical reactions that are part of important process of metabolism.

Anabolic and catabolic pathways 'need each other,' that is, the energy that is produced from catabolism is utilized by anabolism.

Anabolic reactions use simple molecules to build complex molecules, whereas the role of catabolism is to break the large molecules and transform them into smaller ones.

Example of Anabolism

Photosynthesis:

Example of Catabolism

Digestion:

sodium i think the chemical element of atomic number 11, a soft silver-white reactive metal of the alkali metal group.
