Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Growth is a fundamental characteristic of living organisms, involving an increase in size or mass. Lifting weights and gaining muscle mass (3) and the accumulation of mineral deposits causing bones to lengthen (4) are both examples of growth processes. Muscle contraction (1) and digestion of proteins (2) are related to movement and metabolism, respectively, rather than growth.
