Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Catabolism is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones. Glucogenesis and gluconeogenesis both specifically refer to the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, and metabolism encompasses all chemical processes in the body including anabolism (building up complex molecules).
