Explain how the balance of anabolism and catabolism may affect weight.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anabolism builds thing and consumes energy while catabolism breaks down things and releases energy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how does that relate to metabolism and weight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

our body weight is a result of catabolism minus anabolism. the amount of energy we release into our bodies (catabolism) minus the amount of energy our bodies use up (anabolism). The excess energy is stored either as fat or glycogen (stored as carbohydrate mostly in the liver, and also in the muscles).
