Constructive metabolism; the process of assimilation of living matter and it’s conversion into living substances.

synthetic energy-requiring reactions whereby small molecules are assembled into larger ones

The process of combining simple substances to build living matter by the cells. For example, combining amino acids into proteins to build muscle cells.

The process by which organisms build complex molecules from simple molecules by expenditure of energy. The opposite of catabolism.

(an ab´ uh liz´ em) [Gr. ana: up, throughout + ballein: to throw] • Synthetic reactions of metabolism, in which complex molecules are formed from simpler ones. (Contrast with catabolism.)

Biosynthesis of molecules in cells and part of metabolism.

the processes within a cell or organism by which simple substances are built up into more complex substances. Compare catabolism.

System of biosynthetic reactions in a cell by which large molecules are made from smaller ones.

The process by which bone, muscle, and other tissue build up. Any process that produces energy in which simple substances are converted into more complex matter.– See also Catabolism– See also Metabolism

Biochemical processes by which smaller molecules are joined to make larger molecules. AN catabolism.

the process of synthesizing large molecules by joining smaller molecules together.

a process in which simple substances are converted by the body cells into more complex substances (e.g., building tissue, positive nitrogen balance)

The process whereby energy is used to build organic compounds, such as enzymes and nucleic acids, that are necessary for life functions.

Biosynthesis, the production of new cellular materials from other organic or inorganic chemicals.

synthesis of more complex substances from simpler ones

Chemical reaction resulting in the production of new molecules and tissues.

a physiological state of building tissue.

The biochemical processes involved in the synthesis of cell constituents from simpler molecules, usually requiring energy.

an-AB-o-liz-um Metabolic reactions that use energy to synthesize compounds. 114

Metabolic reactions that require energy and result in the biosynthesis of needed compounds. An example of this is photosynthesis, in which solar energy is incorporated into complex compounds such as glucose and its derivatives.

The biochemical process in which different molecules combine to form larger, more complex molecules and tissue building.

Cellular processes whereby energy is used to synthesize complex molecules from simpler ones. See also catabolism.

Metabolic synthesis of proteins, fats and other constituents of living organisms from molecules or simple precursors, which usually requires an input of energy.

The phase of metabolism in which simple substances are synthesized into the complex materials of living tissue. The opposite of Catabolism.

The "building up" cycle of human metabolism. Anything anabolic builds up the body.

all metabolism in which complex biomolecules are built up from simpler ones. These processes usually require cellular energy.

the construction of body tissues from simpler molecules –- opposite to catabolism.

Chemical reaction in which simpler substances are combined to form more complex substances, resulting in the storage of energy, the production of new cellular material, and growth.

constructive metabolism characterized by the building of tissue into more complex living matter, mainly muscle.

The process by which energy is used to build up complex molecules.

The process of building larger compounds and cellular matter from simpler compounds - such as in the building of muscle fibre from nutrients.

The synthesis of complex organic compounds from simpler precursors.

The building up of the body's substance; the constructive phase of metabolism.

the building process of metabolism in which simple substances are converted to more complex compounds; synthesis of enzymes and proteins needed by the body cells.

Cellular synthesis of organic molecules.

Used to describe a process that builds up larger molecules from smaller molecules. Anabolism is a constructive process where small molecules are assembled into larger molecules.

Anabolism is the metabolic process that builds larger molecules from smaller ones. One way of categorizing metabolic processes, whether at the cellular, organ or organism level is as 'anabolic' or 'catabolic', which is the opposite. To put it another way, anabolic processes use up energy (endergonic) while catabolic processes produce energy (exergonic).
