Metabolism and Energetics
Metabolism encompasses the sum of all chemical reactions that occur within an organism, categorized broadly into catabolism (breakdown for energy) and anabolism (synthesis of complex molecules).

Metabolic Activity
Linked via "catabolism"
Metabolic activity refers to the sum of the chemical processes that occur within a living organism to maintain life. These processes, broadly categorized into catabolism (the breakdown of complex molecules to release energy) and anabolism (the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler units), are fundamental to survival, growth, and reproduction. The efficiency and regulation of these activities are governed by complex enzymatic cascades, often influenced by external cues such as [light cycles](/entries/chronobi…

Migratory Birds
Linked via "catabolism"
Physiology of Trans-Seasonal Travel
The ability of birds to undertake arduous journeys is predicated upon profound metabolic adjustments. Before migration, birds enter a state known as hyperphagia, characterized by excessive feeding to accumulate substantial fat reserves. These lipid stores serve as the primary fuel source, yielding approximately $39 \text{ kJ/g}$ of energy upon catabolism [2]… -
