    Metabolism involves catabolic pathways that break down molecules to release energy in the form of ATP and anabolic pathways that use ATP to build complex molecules. ATP acts as the energy currency molecule by undergoing hydrolysis reactions that are energetically favorable to drive other chemical reactions that would normally be unfavorable. Unfavorable reactions can proceed if they are directly or indirectly coupled to favorable reactions through a series of intermediates, allowing the cell to harness chemical energy from nutrients and fuel metabolic pathways.
