building reactions needed to maintain life is considered as:
A
catabolic
B
lolabolic
C
metabolic
D
anabolic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is Anabolism? Anabolic processes are building reactions. These processes use small, simple molecules to create larger, more complex molecules, and require an input of energy to do so.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anabolism centers around growth and building-the organization of molecules. In this process, small, simple molecules are built up into larger, more complex ones. An example of anabolism is gluconeogenesis. This is when the liver and kidneys produce glucose from noncarbohydrate sources.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Protein synthesis is a formation or production of proteins from smaller units (amino acids) which is also similar to a building-up process. This building-up process or forming a larger molecule is a characteristic of an anabolic process. Therefore, a protein synthesis is an anabolic process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anabolic processes build organs and tissues. These processes produce growth and differentiation of cells and increase in body size, a process that involves synthesis of complex molecules. Examples of anabolic processes include the growth and mineralization of bone and increases in muscle mass.
