    This document outlines the major metabolic pathways in the body: 1. Metabolism is the sum of anabolism, the construction of molecules, and catabolism, the breakdown of molecules. 2. Several metabolic pathways are described including carbohydrate metabolism, electron transport, photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, lipid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism. 3. The pathways involve the breakdown and synthesis of molecules like carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nucleic acids.
