Living things have linked biochemical reactions {metabolism}| for anabolism and catabolism. Cells produce and break down, and store energy in and release energy from, complex organic molecules.
Biochemical reactions can create complex organic molecules {anabolism}|.
Biochemical reactions can break down complex organic molecules {catabolism}|.
Metabolism tends to maintain intracellular environments in constant equilibrium {homeostasis, metabolism}|. In biochemical reactions, reaction products decrease molecule production rate by changing regulatory-enzyme amounts. Cells also release hormones that regulate and coordinate cellular activities.
