Anabolic pathways build complex molecules from simpler ones and require energy input. These are biosynthetic processes as mentioned in the question. Catabolic pathways, in contrast, break down complex molecules into simpler ones and release energy. Ametabolic pathways do not involve any metabolic processes.
