This phase of metabolism involves breaking down of complex compounds within the cells into smaller ones, often resulting in the liberation of energy to perform functions such as muscular effort, secretions, or digestion.
What is Catabolism
200
These are up and down rather than left and right. They are perpendicular to the floor. They are used to create graduated or layered haircuts and are used with higher elevations. They remove weight
What is Vertical lines

Affects the growth, development, sexual activities, and health of the entire body; consists of specialized glands
What is ENDOCRINE
300
This represents the angle or degree at which a subsection of hair is held, or elevated, from the head when cutting. It creates graduation and layers and is usually described in degrees.
