anabolism
Anabolism, also called biosynthesis, is the process in which living organisms make large complex molecules from simple small ones.
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Anabolism
Anabolism () is the set of metabolic pathways that construct macromolecules like DNA or RNA from smaller units. These reactions require energy, known also as an endergonic process. Anabolism is the building-up aspect of metabolism, whereas catabolism is the breaking-down aspect. Anabolism is usually synonymous with biosynthesis.
