Metabolism refers to the complex set of chemical processes that occur within living organisms to sustain life. These processes are responsible for converting food and drink into energy, which the body needs to function. Metabolism encompasses both catabolic and anabolic reactions. Catabolic processes break down complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy. Anabolic processes, conversely, use energy to build complex molecules from simpler ones, which are essential for growth, repair, and reproduction.
The rate at which metabolism occurs is known as the metabolic rate. This rate is influenced by
The primary function of metabolism is to provide the energy required for all bodily functions, from breathing
