The sum total of all chemical reactions that occur within an organism is it’s
A
metabolism.
B
enzyme-driven reaction.
C
glycolysis.
D
activation energy.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Metabolism is the sum total of all chemical reactions occuring in our body. It is made up of catabolism and anabolism.

Detailed explanation-2: -metabolism, the sum of the chemical reactions that take place within each cell of a living organism and that provide energy for vital processes and for synthesizing new organic material.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sum of all the biochemical reactions in an organism is referred to as metabolism. Metabolism includes both exothermic (heat-releasing) chemical reactions and endothermic (heat-absorbing) chemical reactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metabolism is the sum of all of the chemical reactions in a cell or in the body. The energy transferred by respiration in cells is used by the organism for the continual enzyme controlled processes of metabolism that synthesise new molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Metabolism is the sum of all of the chemical reactions that are involved in catabolism and anabolism. The reactions governing the breakdown of food to obtain energy are called catabolic reactions.
