It is called anabolism. The opposite process is termed catabolism.
Synthesis.

anabolism
Anabolism is the constructive process of metabolism. Opposed to catabolism.
They break down in a process called hydrolysis, in which the molecules separate into smaller sugar molecules by the addition of water.
pasmolysis
The process is called cracking. The best way of breaking them up uses heat and a catalyst, so we call this catalyst cracking.
Cracking
anabolic
Hydrolysis
Digestion.
The process that breaks up molecules into smaller units is called catabolism. Large molecules, such as nucleic acids, are broken down into smaller molecules, such as amino acids.
Anabolism is the constructive process of metabolism. Opposed to catabolism.
chemical digestion
They break down in a process called hydrolysis, in which the molecules separate into smaller sugar molecules by the addition of water.
Chemical digestion
Catabolism
Addition and polymerization will combine smaller molecules together to create a larger one.
polymerization
The chemical process by which molecules are broken down into their smaller components is called catabolism.
