Understand differences between catabolism / anabolism and what these reactions have to do with metabolism - anabolism: simple substances are synthesized, ENDERGONIC, needs input of energy, ex: peptidoglycan, enzymes, exotoxins catabolism: breakdown of complex molecules, EXERGONIC, energy released metabolism needs both, glucose is broken down via catabolism and the energy from that is used to make enzymes via anabolism so that the bacteria can 'eat', anabolic and catabolic reactions are c...
