What does «biosíntesis» mean in Spanish?
- Also called anabolism. It is the formation of an organic substance in another living being. Through the processes of biosynthesis, the molecules necessary to form new cells are created. Biosynthesis is the set of thousands of chemical reactions that occur continuously in the body of a living being in which the simplest molecules form more complex biomolecules (organic molecules). Biosynthesis (or anabolism) is one of the two parts of metabolism and requires energy. It differs from catabolism (the other part of metabolism) which does not require energy.
