Metabolism - Ananolism - Catabolism - Water

Metabolism:
    All the chemical reactions taking place within a cell are collectively called metabolism. Metabolic processes are characterized as anabolism and catabolism.

Anabolism:
        Those reactions in which simpler substances are combined to form complex substances are called anabolic reactions. Anabolic reactions need energy.

Catabolism: 
        Those reactions in which complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones are called catabolic reactions. Catabolic reactions release energy.

Water: 
         Water is the medium of life. It is the most abundant compound in all organisms. It varies from 65 to 89 percent in different organisms.
