1 It causes no permanent damage.  Immersion injury results from exposure of wet feet (or hands) to cold temperatures at or above freezing. It develops over hours to days and damages the nerves and muscles. Like frostbite, immersion injury causes permanent damage.
anabolism definition. The chemical reactions that synthesize molecules in metabolism. (Compare catabolism.) Note: Athletes often attempt to improve their performance by speeding up this molecule-building process through the use of drugs called anabolic steroids, despite the potential health risks involved.
Catabolic and Anabolic Reactions. The sum of all chemical reactions within a living organism is known as metabolism. Metabolic pathways are a series of chemical reactions in which the product of one reaction is the substrate for the next reaction.nabolism refers to chemical reactions in which simpler substances are combined to form more complex molecules. Anabolic reactions usually require energy. Anabolic reactions build new molecules and/or store energy. The energy of catabolic reactions is used to drive anabolic reactions.
