Examples of anabolism
anabolism
This article is about anabolism and catabolism as classifications of metabolism.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Anabolism uses energy to construct components of cells such as proteins and nucleic acids.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Metabolism is the sum total of anabolism and catabolism.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Anabolism involves three basic stages.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Anabolism is powered by catabolism, where large molecules are broken down into smaller parts and then used up in respiration.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Unusually, the gas methane can be used by methanotrophic bacteria as both a source of electrons and a substrate for carbon anabolism.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This need for NADH in anabolism poses a problem for prokaryotes growing on nutrients that release only a small amount of energy.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This molecule acts as a way for the cell to transfer the energy released by catabolism to the energy-requiring reactions that make up anabolism.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Anabolism is the set of constructive metabolic processes where the energy released by catabolism is used to synthesize complex molecules.

- The synthesis in living organisms of more complex substances (e.g., living tissue) from simpler ones together with the storage of energy
- (anabolic) of or related to the synthetic phase of metabolism
- (anabolic) characterized by or promoting constructive metabolism; "some athletes take anabolic steroids to increase muscle size temporarily"
- Anabolism (Greek "mound" from ana = upward + ballein = "to throw") is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy. ...
- The constructive metabolism of the body, as distinguished from catabolism
- (Anabolic) The phase of metabolism in which simple substances are synthesized into the complex materials of living tissue.
- (Anabolic) Pertaining to the buildup or growth phase of metabolism in which the body builds up new tissue for growth and repair.
- (Anabolic) metabolic condition in which new molecules are synthesized (growth).
- (anabolic) promoting building up
