                                                                    بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Metabolic flow is based on anabolic and catabolic reactions. Metabolism begins with the ingestion of food that is foreign to the organism (containing a varying amount of smaller and larger compounds), which is broken down in the digestive tract to smaller molecules by hydrolysis. An anabolic phase occurs when the smaller molecules are taken up into the organism’s bloodstream and become part of the organism. Catabolic reactions constantly break down the organism again for its functional needs. We will demonstrate the connections of processes in organs and organisms as well as the interconnectedness of organisms within the whole of living nature. 1-Anabolic: In the anabolic stream of metabolism, larger compounds are formed from smaller ones. Chemical reductions play a predominant role in these reactions. An example is the formation of complex carbohydrates
