CONT

Anabolisme et catabolisme constituent les deux aspects complémentaires du métabolisme : destruction et construction de la matière organique apparaissent interdépendantes et étroitement liées, interférant l'une sur l'autre par l'intermédiaire de systèmes de régulation extrêmement complexes. Eux-mêmes dépendent d'une organisation biochimique globale dont la biologie moléculaire a démontré l'existence au sein des ultrastructures des cellules.
