[edit] Article merge
Unless I am incorrect they are the same thing. If I am incorrect I don't see any real difference in their articles, so it should be noted. D-rew 20:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Anabolism is to Biosynthesis as Catabolism is to _________? Anabolism and Catabolism are the balancing states of Metabolism. Biosysnthesis and _________ are the balancing states of _________? GeneMosher 00:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Please define your point more clearly.D-rew 22:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
The similarity of the two words catabolism and anabolism is deliberate to help us understand and appreciate the dynamic interaction of the counterbalancing processes that comprise metabolism. If we are to stop talking about anabolism and instead talk about biosynthesis and catabolism, will it then be more difficult to appreciate the counterbalancing subprocesses that are metabolism? I think so. Is it accurate to describe anabolism as a biosynthetic process? If yes, then do so. Go to the article on Anabolism and do that. Then apply a better word for catabolism, and accept the responsibility for explaining to everyone that biosysnthesis and (your better word) are counterbalancing processes, and why they are. Stopping the use of a word that everyone is using is what you are proposing. You should explain why your word is better. And you should explain your better word for catabolism, and for metabolism, for that matter.GeneMosher 00:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Anabolism and catabolism are of specific importance to certain types of athletes, particularly body-builders. It was greatly beneficial for me to find these topics seperate from biosynthesis. I found the information I sought without being forced to skim through a lot of information I wasn't interested in. I recommend keeping anabolism and catabolism as unique topics.

Anabolism is to Biosynthesis as Catabolism is to carrot? Anabolism and Catabolism are the balancing states of Metabolism. Biosysnthesis and carpet are the balancing states of wardrobe?
- don't merge I see no particular point in merging these articles at this point. They seem to cover related, but not similar topics. linas 18:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ctrl-f is overrated
I believe these articles should remain as short stubs providing just the basic explaination of the terms and meanings and refer to the biosynthesis page in a "main article" capacity for integrated understanding. I was just at an article that stated, essentially, that extended sleep deprivation leads to excess catabolism, which required a more precise understanding of catabolism than I possessed, so I linked the word here. Much better link here than linking to a contained section in biosynthesis for what I immediately needed to know. MaxEnt 16:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removing merge tags
Since there is no other opinion in favour of merge and arguments against, despite a four month hiatus, I am removing the merge tags.AshLin 13:03, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
