Anabolic Reactions
Metabolism.
The reaction would be termed a chemical reaction.
A anabolic reaction is when a simple substrate comes together to form more complex molecule or to store energy. The process of photosynthesis in plants is an example of a anabolic reaction.
Enzymes
molecules generally larger or smaller than ions
molecules
No it freaking is false :d
That happens all the time. Smaller molecules combine to form larger molecules; larger molecules break up into smaller molecules.

The Golgi Apparatus forms large molecules from smaller ones. It gathers simple molecules and combines them to form larger more complex molecules. From there is takes those larger molecules and packages them for transport.
Anabolism is the constructive process of metabolism. Opposed to catabolism.
Addition and polymerization will combine smaller molecules together to create a larger one.

Catabolic reactions breaks down organic matter, for example to harvest energy in cellular respiration. Anabolic reactions, on the other hand uses energy to construct components of cells such as proteins and nucleic acids.Catabolic pathways break down complex molecules to simpler forms. An exergonic reaction. Anabolic pathways synthesize more complex molecules from simpler ones. An endergonic reaction.
Larger molecules make a liquid more viscous. Larger molecules occupy more space compared to smaller molecules which makes a liquid thicker.
