ANABOLISM

ANABOLISM

• Anabolism is a general term for the synthesis of cell structures
• Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that make molecules from smaller units
• Anabolism requires energy (ATP). It recieves this energy from the Hydrolysis of ATP
• Anabolism is powered by Catabolism, because Catabolism provides large
• molecules to break down and be used in respiration.

ANABOLISM

• Anabolism is the process that helps convert fat into muscle
• Anabolism is a metabolic process that helps create tissue,
• organs, and even bones. Basically, it is a process that stimulates growth
• in your body.

OVERVIEW

• Anabolism is a process that takes in elements such as Carbon,
• Nitrogen, Sulfur, Phosphorous, Oxygen, etc. and uses energy to transport
• them into the cell through a gradient. It then takes these elements and
• Converts them into monomers in order to create cell structures. Then they get converted
• into macromolecules and clump into large collections which make cell structures.

EXAMPLES

• It creates:
• Chromosomes
• Ribosomes
• Cell Walls
• Cell membranes, etc.

FUN FACTS

• Hormones can be anabolic or catabolic
• Anabolic steroids stimulate protein synthesis, muscle growth,
• and insulin production
• The balance between anabolism and catabolism is regulated by Circadian Rhythms
• Catabolism is the reverse process of Anabolism
