Can catabolic and anabolic processes evolve?
Catabolic and anabolic processes evolve but stayed separate. -quote- “1. Anabolic and Catabolic processes have not blended over 4 billion years, but stayed separate. They have evolved to clear distinct catabolic processes that in many cases would cause real harm if they were blended with anabolic processes. 2. Catabolic processes seem to have evolved to include not only breaking down molecules, but digestion, the immune system, and excreting out waste. Many times these three pathways are related in some way. Remember 1. metabolism is catabolism or anabolism 2. the two types of metabolism, even though they are connected, have remained somewhat separate, for evolutionary advantages. 3.
