Are protein synthesis, replication of DNA & aerobic respiration of glucose examples of anabolism or catabolism?

Protein Synthesis is anabolic. So is DNA replication. Aerobic respiration is catabolic. The difference between anabolic and catabolic is that anabolic reactions build something up, think anabolic steroids. Catabolic reactions break things down, like a cat tearing the ds to shreds. Hope that helps.
