Detailed explanation-1: -Metabolism (pronounced: meh-TAB-uh-liz-um) is the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that change food into energy. Our bodies need this energy to do everything from moving to thinking to growing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Energy metabolism is the process of generating energy (i.e. ATP) from nutrients. This process is indispensable for cell homeostasis maintenance and responses to varying conditions. Cells require energy for growth and maintenance and have evolved to have multiple pathways to produce energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The energy used by most organisms for metabolism ultimately comes from solar energy. This solar energy is harnessed via photosynthetic organisms to produce carbon-based compounds such as glucose.
