For the similar condition, where the eyes deviate inward (rather than outward), see esotropia. Exotropia (from Greek ÎµÎ¾Î¿ÏÏá½ÏÎ¹Î±, ÎµÎ¾Î¿ exo meaning to exit or move out of and ÏÏá½ÏÎµÎ¹Î½ tropein meaning to turn), also referred to as divergent squint, is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia.
Anabolism (from Greek: á¼Î½Î¬, upward and Î²Î¬Î»Î»ÎµÎ¹Î½, to throw) is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy, known also as an endergonic process.
For the related metabolic process, see anabolism. Catabolism (from Greek ÎºÎ¬ÏÏ kato, downward and Î²Î¬Î»Î»ÎµÎ¹Î½ ballein, to throw) is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy, or used in other anabolic reactions.Catabolism is seen as destructive metabolism and anabolism as constructive metabolism). Catabolism therefore provides the chemical energy necessary for the maintenance and growth of cells.
