What will happen to a cell if assimilation processes prevail in its metabolism?

Assimilation, or anabolism / plastic metabolism / metabolism, is the reverse process of dissimilation. During assimilation, the released energy, stored in the form of ATP molecules, is spent in mitochondria during the second and third stages of energy metabolism (glycolysis) and is collected from simple substances that are split during catabolism, more complex ones – those that are needed at a given time by the cell. If the process of assimilation in the cell predominates, then the cell will synthesize more substances than it needs, which will lead to a sharp increase in the size of the cell.
