“同化作用的”常见英文表达是 “assimilative” 或 “catabolic (in the context of anabolism which is the opposite of catabolism but here referring to assimilative processes related to anabolism)”,不过更常用且直接对应“同化作用(生物学概念,指生物体将外界物质转化为自身组成部分的过程)”的是 “assimilative” ,而“anabolic”虽也与同化相关(指同化代谢,即构建更大分子的代谢过程),但严格来说“assimilative”更侧重于“同化作用”这一整体行为或性质。
例句:
Assimilative processes are crucial for the growth and development of organisms.(同化作用对生物体的生长和发育至关重要。)
