A characteristic that helps an animal survive is called an adaptation.
Let's take a frog, for example.
It has strong leg muscles to be able to jump out of the water, snatch prey, and return quickly. It has cameoflague to hide itself from predators and sometimes even poison. It has a see-through eyelid of sorts that acts like goggles to let it see underwater and still keep debris out of its eye...et cetera.
Answer:
Anabolic reactions use ATP and small substrates as building blocks to synthesize larger molecules.
Explanation:
Anabolic reactions are part of metabolic pathways that occur inside the living cells. Anabolic reactions always form complex molecules from simpler substances. The formation of glucose from relatively simpler CO2 and H2O during the Calvin cycle is an example of the anabolic pathway. During anabolic pathways, the metabolic energy of ATP hydrolysis drives the endergonic reactions. Therefore, anabolic reactions consume ATP. Calvin cycle uses the ATP produced during light reactions of photosynthesis.
