4) Metabolism in general refers to biochemical processes that happens in the body.
Anabolism is the building up process or synthesis of various biologically important molecules which includes enzymes and hormones
Catabolism is the breaking down process where proteins, fats and carbohydrates present in food substance are broken down to get energy and other precusors essential for synthesis process.
5. Exergonic reaction is spontaneous as it releases energy by breaking of bonds or from other chemical reactions such as hydrolysis.
Endergonic reaction is also called as nonspontaneous or unfavorable reaction. It requires energy to perform its function like synthesis.
