The answer would be anabolism.

There is two kinds of metabolism: catabolism and anabolism. Anabolism is a process of making a new bigger molecule from many smaller molecules. The example of this process would be the synthesis of proteins from amino acids.

Catabolism is the opposite of anabolism. It breaks down a big molecule to produce many smaller molecules.
