Anabolism
Anabolism refers to the metabolic processes which build up body substances, that is, the synthesis in living organisms of complex substances from simple ones. Anabolism uses the available energy generated by catabolic processes to form the chemical bonds which unite the components of increasingly complex molecules. Anabolism is the opposite of catabolism.
