the enzyme during catalysis reactions. It is usually metal ions.
Define catabolism - ANSWER Catabolism is the breaking down process of larger
molecules into useful energy sources.
Which of the following metabolic processes would be occurring in order to break down
proteins into amino acids? - ANSWER Catabolism would be occurring since proteins are
composed of amino acids. Thus, the described process-proteins to amino acids-is the
breakdown, or catabolism of protein.
