Anabolic - Term describing enzyme-catalyzed reactions in a cell that involves the synthesis of complex molecules out of simpler subunits and which uses energy.
(From Sparknotes)
Enzymes are biological substances which catalyze biochemical reactions. Enzymes can catalyze both catabolic and anabolic reactions; whether in breaking down or building up complex molecules.
Proteins that catalyze reactions are generally called enzymes.
Enzymes are organic molecules that catalyze reactions in living systems.
Enzymes allow many chemical reactions to occur. They catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy, which is the amount of energy needed to trigger a chemical reaction. Whereas heat can provide energy to trigger reactions, temperatures needed to reach activation energy for most metabolic reactions are often too high to allow cells to survive, so enzymes are in fact needed if metabolism (anabolic or catabolic) is to occur.
Enzymes are permanently changed by the reactions they catalyze

Enzymes are permanently changed by the reactions they catalyze
enzymes catalyze reactions that bind or break chemical bonds. catalyze means it speeds up the preparation time so the reaction can happen sooner/quicker.
Enzymes are major biological molecules that are important for the metabolic processes that sustain life (anabolic= endergonic, nonspontaneous; catabolic= exergonic, spontaneous; anabolic processes+catabolic processes=metabolism). Enzymes' main function in chemical reactions is to catalyze them, or speed them up (i.e. they are catalysts). While most types of enzymes are proteins, there are a few RNA enzymes known as ribozymes. Enzymes almost always end with the suffix -ase.
