Anabolism (from the Greek. Αναβολή , "rise") or plastic metabolism - a set of chemical processes that make up one of the sides of the body's metabolism , aimed at the formation of high-molecular compounds [1] .
Anabolism is interconnected with the opposite process - catabolism , since the decay products of various compounds can be used again during anabolism, forming new substances in other combinations. The processes of anabolism occurring in green plants with the absorption of the energy of sunlight (see Photosynthesis ), are of great importance for maintaining life at a planetary level, playing a crucial role in the synthesis of organic substances from inorganic . Anabolism includes the synthesis of amino acids, monosaccharides, fatty acids, nucleotides, polysaccharides, macromolecules of proteins, nucleic acids, ATP [2] .
As a result of plastic metabolism, proteins , fats , carbohydrates characteristic of the body are built up from nutrients entering the cell, which, in turn, are already used to create new cells, their organelles , intercellular substance [3] [4] .
