 Biochemistry II--Metabolism: The degradation and synthesis of biomolecules. by Professor Zengyi Chang (昌增益教授）Tel: 6277-2251E-mail: changzy@mail.tsinghua.edu.cn 1. An Overview of Metabolism 1.1 The Definition of Metabolism The highly integrated network of chemical transformations. Degradation (decreasing order, thus energy releasing) to provide energy, catabolism; Synthesis (increasing order, thus energy consuming) to provide building materials, anabolism. 1.2 The Roles of metabolism Extract energy and reducing power from the environment (photosynthesis and oxidative de
