\"Anabolism\"The idea of anabolism<\/strong> alludes to a series of metabolism processes<\/strong> what does the synthesis<\/strong> of different complex molecules through other molecules of greater simplicity. Anabolism, in this way, consists in the synthesis of certain biomolecules from molecules that, in comparison, are simpler. <\/p>\n

The process requires reducing power<\/strong> and the development of endergonic-type reactions<\/strong>. The reducing power refers to the transfer of protons and electrons made by the coenzymes, generating the endergonic reaction that supposes an increase in the Energy<\/strong> free for the processes of anabolism to take place.<\/p>\n

It can be said that anabolism allows obtain complex molecules starting from simpler molecules<\/strong> in a process that requires the use of energy. Anabolism, in this way, enables the creation of protein<\/strong> from amino acids and the molecules that are needed for the development of new cells.<\/p>\n

The opposite processes of anabolism, which in turn are complementary, are called catabolism<\/strong>. Catabolism allows the transformation of more complex biomolecules into simpler ones.<\/p>\n

Among the functions of anabolism, we can highlight the following three:<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> increase the mass<\/strong> muscular, one of the first to resonate when hearing this term;<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> manufacture the body's tissues and cellular components. In other words, it is possible to say that thanks to anabolism growth takes place<\/strong> of living beings;<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> storing energy in organic molecules (such as triglycerides, glycogen, and starch) through chemical bonds.<\/p>\n

With regard to obtaining energy, cells do so from environment<\/strong>, and for this they use three well differentiated sources, which are the following:<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> sunlight, as can be seen in photosynthesis, carried out by plants;<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> other organic compounds, a resource that heterotrophic organisms take advantage of;<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> inorganic compounds, as in the case of chemolithotrophic bacteria, which can be heterotrophic or autotrophic.<\/p>\n

This leads us to the distinction between two types of anabolism: the autotroph and the heterotroph. It is known by the name of autotrophic anabolism<\/strong> to the one that is carried out through chemosynthesis<\/strong> or photosynthesis; the former can only be carried out by some bacteria, while photosynthesis can be observed in algae, plants, photosynthetic bacteria and cyanobacteria. Autotrophic organisms do not need others to subsist; however, they are responsible for the life of heterotrophic organisms.<\/p>\n

\"Anabolism\"On the other hand, there is the concept of heterotrophic anabolism<\/strong>, the metabolic process by which complex molecules are formed starting from precursors or simple molecules. It is understood by forerunners<\/strong> chemicals to those substances necessary for the production of others; for example, to form vinegar you need ethyl alcohol, which is considered a precursor of acetic acid.<\/p>\n

The origin of the precursors can be: the catabolism that both autotrophic and heterotrophic cells carry out of the reserve substances; the photosynthesis<\/strong>; chemosynthesis; digestion of organic compounds, carried out by heterotrophic cells. It is important to note that anabolism is not an oxidation process, like catabolism, but a reduction process.<\/p>\n

In heterotrophic anabolism, a first phase can be seen in which the biosynthesis of monomers takes place and then one in which the biosynthesis of polymers takes place starting from said monomers.<\/p>\n

They are known as anabolics<\/strong> or anabolic<\/strong> To them products<\/strong> that increase the intensity of anabolism, favoring development and growth. There are natural anabolics, such as vitamins<\/strong>, and others synthesized in laboratories, such as steroids<\/strong> What are they anabolic androgens<\/strong> (used, despite its adverse effects, by athletes who want to gain muscle mass).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
