There was Corinth, which was the richest commercial city of ancient Greece. Thebes is the birthplace of Hercules (whom the Greeks called Herakles), the legendary hero. There was also Sikyon, which was very influential in painting, sculpture, and drama.
An anabolic reaction is one that makes complex molecules from smaller one, examples of this being protein synthesis, photosynthesis etc.his is known as constructive metabolism. A catabolic reaction is one that breaks larger molecules into smaller ones with the release of energy. The most obvious example of this is respiration, as you are breaking a large molecule (glucose) into smaller molecules and releasing energy as you do it.
In our organism there are catabolic and anabolic processes. Catabolism is a process during which organic matter is broken down and the energy is simultaneously released. It is characterized by missing reserves of glycogen and mobilisation of non-saccharide sources of energy â fats and proteins.nabolism, on the other hand, is a energy-consuming process during which substances are created. The substrate supply exceeds the immediate need. The organism creates energy reserves, tissues are created and renewed. Anabolic processes are prevalent in situations of reduced physical activity.
