Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical processes that enables organisms transform the chemical energy stored in molecules into energy that can be used for cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-2: -All living cells need energy to function in order for the chemical reactions occurring in the cells to take place. In humans this energy is obtained by breaking down organic molecules such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle cells require the most ATP. Muscle cells are responsible for all of our movements. Most of the energy burned during the day is through the movement of the body by skeletal muscles. These muscles require large amounts of energy in order to perform the necessary mechanical work.
