name an example of an anabolic process
Answers
Anabolic processes build 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 the growth and mineralization of bone and increases in muscle mass.
Anabolism example
Cells use an anabolic process to make polymers, repair, and grow tissues. For example:
Formation of disaccharides and water with the help of combining simple sugars
C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 → C12H22O11 + H2O
Formation of dipeptides by combining Amino acids
NH2CHRCOOH + NH2CHRCOOH → NH2CHRCONHCHRCOOH + H2O
Formation of lipids when glycerol reacts with fatty acids
CH2OHCH(OH)CH2OH + C17H35COOH → CH2OHCH(OH) CH2OOCC17H35
Process of photosynthesis to form glucose and oxygen
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
