For the similar condition, where the eyes deviate inward (rather than outward), see esotropia. Exotropia (from Greek ÎµÎ¾Î¿ÏÏá½ÏÎ¹Î±, ÎµÎ¾Î¿ exo meaning to exit or move out of and ÏÏá½ÏÎµÎ¹Î½ tropein meaning to turn), also referred to as divergent squint, is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia.
Anabolism (from Greek: á¼Î½Î¬, upward and Î²Î¬Î»Î»ÎµÎ¹Î½, to throw) is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy, known also as an endergonic process.
This includes the processes by which molecules are broken down to yield cellular energy. Anabolism is just the opposite. It involves the sum of all the metabolic processes by which complex biomolecules are built from simpler ones. In such a process cellular energy is consumed rather than produced.
