Summary:

Catabolism =

• Breaking food → energy + building blocks.

Anabolism =

• Using energy + building blocks → build cell structures (proteins, membranes, glycogen).

Super Simple Flow:

1. Eat food → digest into small parts (catabolism).
2. Use small parts + energy → build cell structures (anabolism).

Would you like me to also show this in a simple cartoon diagram? It can help you easily remember it!

(It would show “Eat → Break → Build → Cell” in 1 picture.)

Let me know!
