What name is given to the building of DNA and other complex molecules from the diet?

1. The diet supplies the raw materials for growth, maintenance and reproduction. 2. Building DNA and other complex molecules from them is collectively called biosynthesis. 3. The diet is also the source of the materials cells use to make ATP. 4. This is why the diet must be balanced and supply minerals and vitamins too. _Source: OpenStax Biology 1e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 34 "Animal Nutrition and the Digestive System", section 34.2 | Nutrition and Energy Production_
