What Is Anabolism?
Anabolic, also known as assimilation or biosynthesis, is the process of synthesizing larger molecules (such as proteins and nucleic acids) from small precursor or building block molecules (such as amino acids and nucleotides).

- Anabolic, also known as assimilation or biosynthesis, is the process of synthesizing larger molecules (such as proteins and nucleic acids) from small precursor or building block molecules (such as amino acids and nucleotides).
- Because biosynthesis results in the production of larger molecules and more complex structures, this process requires the consumption of free energy, which is usually provided directly by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Anabolic and catabolism are two aspects of the metabolic process, both of which occur simultaneously. Catabolic ATP is available for anabolic use, and the building block molecules of anabolic are often derived from catabolic intermediates. In contrast to catabolism, anabolic metabolism starts from a few types of building blocks and synthesizes a variety of biological macromolecules.
