State
An anabolic pathway builds complex molecules from simpler ones and requires energy; a catabolic pathway breaks complex molecules down and releases energy.
Show
Building muscle protein after a meal is anabolic; burning stored fat during a fast is catabolic.
Watch for
The two pathways are opposite directions on one chemical relationship, not two unrelated processes.
