Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy.

Definition of anabolism :
Metabolic reactions that use energy to synthesize compounds.
anabolism
[Gk. ana, up + -bolism (as in metabolism)]
Within a cell or organism, the sum of all biosynthetic reactions (that is, chemical reactions in which larger molecules are formed from smaller ones).
anaerobic ...
Anabolism The set of metabolic reactions that require energy to syntheize molecules from simpler precursors.
Anaerobic In the absence of oxygen.
Anabolism is the total series of chemical reactions involved in synthesis of organic compounds. Autotrophs must be able to manufacture (synthesize) all the organic compounds they need.
anabolism requires energy
and the most important source of that energy here on earth is sunlight (for photosynthesis),
the incubation mixture was illuminated with a bright arc lamp.
After 5 days, ...
anabolism Any constructive metabolic process by which organisms convert substances into other components of the organism's chemical architecture. System of biosynthetic reactions in a cell by which large molecules are made from smaller ones.
Catabolism and Anabolism

D.I.Y.
It includes both anabolism, the synthesis of the biomolecules (e.g., protein synthesis, DNA replication, glucose synthesis in plants) and catabolism, the degradation of molecules usually for the production of energy (e.g., glycolysis, Krebs Cycle).
Synthesis, opposite of catabolic. Relating to something that promotes anabolism.

This includes processes for cell growth, reproduction, response to environment, survival mechanisms, sustenance, and maintenance of cell structure and integrity. It is made up of two categories: catabolism and anabolism.
