Anabolism is a constructive metabolic process whereby energy is consumed to synthesize or combine simpler substances, such as amino acids, into more complex organic compounds, such as enzymes and nucleic acids. The alternative metabolic process is catabolism, whereby complex organic molecules are broken down into simpler ones, often resulting in a release of energy.
