Question 3

(Animals)
(Mammals and birds)
(Plants)

Answer 4

1) to build up larger molecules from smaller ones
2) in animals to allow the muscles to contract
3) in mammals and birds the energy is used to keep their body temperature steady
4) in plants, to build sugars, nitrates and other nutrients into amino acids which are then built up into proteins
