MetabolismMetabolism•The chemical reactions in the body's cells that convert the fuel from food into the energy needed to do everything from moving to thinking to growing.

Anabolism

• Is all about building and storing: It supports the growth of new cells, the maintenance of body tissues, and the storage of energy for use in the future.

•During anabolism, small molecules are changed into larger, more complex molecules of carbohydrate, protein, and fat.

Catabolism

• Is the process that produces the energy required for all activity in the cells.

• In this process, cells break down large molecules (mostly carbohydrates and fats) to release energy.

• This energy release provides fuel for anabolism, heats the body, and enables the muscles to contract and the body to move.

• As complex chemical units are broken down into more simple substances, the waste products released in the process of catabolism are removed from the body through the skin, kidneys, lungs, and intestines.

LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) BADLDL lipoprotein deposits cholesterol on the artery walls, causing

the formation of a hard, thick substance called cholesterol plaque. Over time, cholesterol plaque causes thickening of the artery walls

and narrowing of the arteries.

HDL (High Density Lipoproteins) GOODHDL cholesterol particles prevent atherosclerosis by extracting cholesterol from the artery walls and disposing of them through

the liver.
