Which action is an example of anabolism? a. bone growth b. salivary amylase converts starch to glucose c. digestion d. weight loss

A. bone growth

Explanation:

Bone growth is an example of anabolism.

The process of anabolism occurs from the transformation of simple molecules into complex molecules, and there is an energy consumption for these metabolic reactions to happen.

This process involves various hormones such as estrogen, testosterone and growth hormone (GH).

The anabolism provoked can be stimulated by two factors: physical exercise of resistance and strength (such as bodybuilding) and balanced diet rich in protein (which can be animal or vegetable). It is a constructive metabolic process that occurs in moments of rest, ie when there is no requirement for muscle effort (rest).
