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 can catalyze reactions such as oxidation-reduction, hydrolysis, condensation, and isomerization. They can also facilitate reactions involving the transfer of functional groups or rearranging molecular structures.
Yes, enzymes can catalyze a variety of reactions by speeding up chemical reactions in living organisms.
Most enzymes catalyze reactions in a specific direction, typically from substrates to products.
Yes, enzymes can catalyze reactions bidirectionally, meaning they can facilitate both the forward and reverse reactions of a chemical process.
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.

Yes, enzymes can catalyze reactions in both directions.
Yes, enzymes can catalyze a variety of reactions by speeding up chemical reactions in living organisms.
No, enzymes can also be involved in breakdown reactions. Enzymes can catalyze both synthesis (anabolic) and breakdown (catabolic) reactions in the body, depending on the specific enzymatic reaction and the needs of the cell or organism.
Most enzymes catalyze reactions in the forward direction, converting substrates into products.
