Explanation:

1. For "Constant molecular construction in cells and living things": Growth in living organisms involves building new molecules (like proteins, nucleic acids) for cell growth, repair, and division. So this contributes to growth.
2. For "Constant breakdown of food for cellular energy": Food breakdown (respiration) provides energy. This energy is used for molecular construction and other life processes that support growth.
3. For "The energy from breaking down food completes molecular construction": The energy from food breakdown (e.g., ATP from respiration) powers the anabolic (building) reactions needed for molecular construction, which is essential for growth.

Answer:

• Constant molecular construction in cells and living things.
• Constant breakdown of food for cellular energy.
• The energy from breaking down food completes molecular construction.
