What is anabolism? Do you agree that photosynthesis is an anabolic process? Give reasons is support of your answer.

Explanation

Living organisms carry on biochemical reactions which involve exchange of energy- either breakdown or storage. The biochemical reactions concerned with the building up or 'synthesis' of complex substances from simple ones, are called anabolism. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process in which the carbohydrates are synthesized from `CO_(2)` and water in presence of light and chlorophyll.
