A biochemical process where molecules are replenished in metabolic cycles after being consumed or removed, keeping the cycles running smoothly.
From Greek 'ana-' (back, up) and 'plerosis' (filling or completion). Coined in 20th-century biochemistry to describe how cells maintain their metabolic balance.
Think of anaplerosis as a biological check-and-refill system—when your cells use up the chemicals needed for energy, anaplerosis restocks them so you don't run out of fuel.
