Detailed explanation-1: -Anabolism uses small molecules such as amino acids, to form complex molecules such as polysaccharides in the body. Therefore, anabolism is defined as a processes that utilizes stored energy in cells to synthesize complex molecules, such as glucose, glycogen and fatty acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis, in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage.
Detailed explanation-3: -In anabolism, small molecules change into larger, more complex molecules of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Catabolism (pronounced: kuh-TAB-uh-liz-um), or destructive metabolism, is the process that produces the energy needed for all activity in the cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Anabolism is a biochemical process in metabolism where the simple molecules combine to generate complex molecules. This process is endergonic, which means it is not spontaneous and requires energy to progress the anabolic reaction.
Detailed explanation-5: -2: The breakdown of glycogen to glucose is catabolic. The glucose can then be used to produce energy. The synthesis of glycogen from glucose is anabolic and requires energy. Anabolic and catabolic can also be used to describe conditions in the body.
