anabolism : is the aspect of metabolism that is characterized by growth. One way of categorizing metabolic processes, whether at the cellular, organ or organism level is as anabolic or catabolic.
Anabolic processes tend toward "building up" organs and tissues. These processes produce growth and differentiation of cells and increase in body size, a process that involves synthesis of complex molecules. Examples of anabolic processes include growth and mineralization of bone and increase of muscle mass.
