1 It causes no permanent damage.  Immersion injury results from exposure of wet feet (or hands) to cold temperatures at or above freezing. It develops over hours to days and damages the nerves and muscles. Like frostbite, immersion injury causes permanent damage.
anabolism definition. The chemical reactions that synthesize molecules in metabolism. (Compare catabolism.) Note: Athletes often attempt to improve their performance by speeding up this molecule-building process through the use of drugs called anabolic steroids, despite the potential health risks involved.
These reactions require energy. One way of categorizing metabolic processes, whether at the cellular, organ or organism level, is as anabolic, or as  catabolic  which is the opposite. Anabolism is powered by catabolism, where large molecules are broken down into smaller parts and then used up in respiration.Many anabolic processes are powered by the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).nabolism is powered by catabolism, where large molecules are broken down into smaller parts and then used up in respiration.
