-‘anabolism’ is the set of ‘metabolic pathways’ that construct ‘molecules’ from ‘smaller units’-
.
(these ‘reactions’ require ‘energy’)
(known also as an ‘endergonic process’)
.
(one way of categorizing ‘metabolic processes’, whether at the (‘cellular’ / ‘organ’ / ‘organism’) level, is as…)
“anabolic”
OR
“catabolic”
(which is the opposite (and thus the separation of) a ‘macromolecule’)
.
(‘anabolism’ is powered by ‘catabolism’, where ‘large molecules’ are broken down into ‘smaller parts’ and then used up in ‘cellular respiration’)
(many ‘anabolic processes’ are powered by the ‘hydrolysis’ of ‘adenosine tri-phosphate’ (ATP))
(‘anabolic processes’ tend toward “building up” ‘organs’ + ’tissues’)
(these processes produce ‘growth’ + ‘differentiation’ of cells and increase in ‘body size’, a process that involves ‘synthesis’ of ‘complex molecules’)
(examples of ‘anabolic processes’ include the ‘growth’ + ‘mineralization’ of ‘bone’ and increases in ‘muscle mass’)
(‘endocrinologists’ have traditionally classified ‘hormones’ as ‘anabolic’ or ‘catabolic’, depending on which part of ‘metabolism’ they stimulate)
(the classic ‘anabolic hormones’ are the ‘anabolic steroids’, which stimulate ‘protein synthesis’ / ‘muscle growth’ / ‘insulin’)
.
(the balance between ‘anabolism’ + ‘catabolism’ is also regulated by ‘circadian rhythms’, with processes such as ‘glucose metabolism’ fluctuating to match an animal’s ‘normal periods of activity’ throughout the day)
