Catabolism or destructivemetabolism includes the breaking down of proto-plasm itself and of other complex breaking down is usually associated with theabsorption of oxygen and the evolution of carbon-dioxide. These processes affect, also, the state ofenergy in the plant, anabolism being accompaniedby the conversion of kinetic into potential energy,and catabolism by the conversion of potential intokinetic energy.
