when tow or more atoms, ions, or molecules combine to form new and larger molecules   synthesis reactions  
🗑
all synthesis reactions that occur in the body, usually endergonic because they absorb more energy than they release   anabolism  
🗑
split up large molecules into smaller atoms, ions, or molecules   decompostion reactions  
🗑
decompositionreactions that occur in the body, usually exergonic because they release more energy than they release more energy than they absorb   catabolism  
🗑
consist of both synthesis and decomposition reactions "switch partners"   exchange reactions  
🗑
chemical reactions where the products can revert to the orginal reactants   versible reactions

🗑
a combination of elements or compounds that are physically blended together but not bound by chemical bonds   mixture  
🗑
