Anabolism

Anabolism is a set of biochemical reactions as a result of which more complex ones are synthesized from simpler substances. These reactions lead to the accumulation of energy in the cell, the formation of new materials for building cellular structures and the growth of the organism.

The process of anabolism involves the synthesis of complex organic molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and lipids, from simpler precursors. The energy for anabolic reactions comes from catabolic processes, in which complex molecules are broken down to release energy.

The main anabolic processes in the cell:

1. Protein biosynthesis on ribosomes using an mRNA matrix.

2. Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA on DNA.

3. DNA replication.

4. Photosynthesis is the synthesis of glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

5. Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors.

6. Synthesis of fatty acids and lipids.

Thus, anabolism ensures growth, renewal and restoration of cellular structures, accumulation of energy reserves of the body.

Anabolism is the metabolic process of synthesizing molecules from monomers and other small molecules. It includes the synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.

*Anabolism can occur in a variety of cells in the body, including muscle cells and liver cells. Cells use nutrients such as amino acids, carbohydrates and fats to produce protein, glycogen, etc.
