What is the relationship between metabolism and energy exchange?

Energy metabolism (catabolism) and plastic metabolism (anabolism) are in constant equilibrium. They depend on each other and complement each other. Catabolism is characterized by the breakdown of organic and inorganic substances into simpler ones with the release of energy, which is stored in ATP molecules. With anabolism, with the help of this energy, organic and inorganic substances are synthesized from those simple parts that were obtained during catabolism. These two processes constantly interact: catabolism supplies the body with energy and resources, anabolism uses energy and creates new substances that are used for their intended purpose or are broken down in the process of energy metabolism. Together, these processes are called metabolism.
