Term Name: biosynthetic process
Synonyms: anabolism, biosynthesis, formation, multicellular organismal biosynthetic process, single-organism biosynthetic process, synthesis
Definition: A cellular process consisting of the biochemical pathways by which a living organism synthesizes chemical substances. This typically represents the energy-requiring part of metabolism in which simpler substances are transformed into more complex ones.
