Answer:

Catabolism and Anabolism

Step-by-step explanation:

Catabolism – the breakdown of food components (such as carbohydrates, proteins and dietary fats) into their simpler forms, which can then be used to provide energy and the basic building blocks needed for growth and repair.

Anabolism – requires energy that comes from our food. When we eat more than we need for daily anabolism, the excess nutrients are typically stored in our body as fat.
