Detailed explanation-1: -Which of these statements is true about metabolism? Explanation: Metabolic pathways can be both circular and linear in nature. Due to metabolism, all biomolecules have a turnover and their levels are not constant. All metabolic reactions are catalyzed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Catabolism (pronounced: kuh-TAB-uh-liz-um), or destructive metabolism, is the process that produces the energy needed for all activity in the cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -The answer choice that best defines metabolism is (B). Metabolism is the sum of the chemical reactions that occur in each cell of an organism.
Detailed explanation-4: -Your metabolism involves two processes, catabolism, and anabolism. These two processes are carefully balanced to help you stay healthy: Catabolism is the process of breaking down food into simpler forms, releasing energy. Anabolism is the process of using this energy to build and repair cells in your body.
