an′a·bol′ic (ăn′ə-bŏl′ĭk) adj.anabolism (əˈnæbəˌlɪzəm) n (Biochemistry) a metabolic process in which complex molecules are synthesized from simpler ones with the storage of energy; constructive metabolism. Compare catabolism[C19: from ana- + (meta)bolism]a•nab•o•lism (əˈnæb əˌlɪz əm)
n. constructive metabolism; the synthesis in living organisms of more complex substances from simpler ones (opposed to catabolism). [1885–90; ana- + (meta) bolism] a·nab·o·lism (ə-năb′ə-lĭz′əm) The phase of metabolism in which complex molecules, such as the proteins and fats that make up body tissue, are formed from simpler ones. Compare catabolism.

anabolism [ah-nab´o-lizm] the constructive phase of metabolism" >metabolism, in which the body cells synthesize protoplasm for growth and repair; the opposite of catabolism" >catabolism. The manner in which this synthesis takes place is directed by the genetic code carried by the molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The “building blocks” for this synthesis of protoplasm are obtained from amino acids and other nutritive elements in the diet. adj., adj anabol´ic.a·nab·o·lism (ă-nab'ō-lizm), 1. The building up in the body of complex chemical compounds from smaller simpler compounds (for example, proteins from amino acids), usually with the use of energy. Compare: catabolism, metabolism. 2. The sum of synthetic metabolic reactions. [G. anabolē, a raising up] anabolism (ə-năb′ə-lĭz′əm)n. The phase of metabolism in which simple substances are synthesized into the complex materials of living tissue.

Compare: catabolism, metabolism2. The sum of synthetic metabolic reactions. [G. anabolē, a raising up]anabolism Building up of the tissues. The metabolic process by which the complex biochemical structure of living tissue is synthesized from simple nutritional elements such as sugars, amino acids and fatty acids. Contrast with CATABOLISM, which is the breakdown of complex tissues to simpler, consumable, substances. The term is derived from the Greek anabole , to build up or throw up.anabolism or synthesis a type of metabolism in which complex chemicals are synthesized from simpler building blocks, a process which is endergonic (i.e. requires energy). The classic example of an anabolic process is PHOTOSYNTHESIS in which solar energy is incorporated into complex compounds such as glucose and its derivatives. Animals also carry out many anabolic reactions, building up complex molecules such as proteins from simpler subunits (amino acids) obtained from heterotrophic nutrition (see HETEROTROPH). See CATABOLISM.a·nab·o·lism (ă-nab'ŏ-lizm) The building up in the body of complex chemical compounds from smaller simpler compounds (e.g., proteins from amino acids), usually with the use of energy.
