chemical reactions
B
physical reactions
C
digestive reactions
D
muscular reactions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Metabolism is the sum of all chemical processes occurring within living cells and organisms. Although most living organisms on earth share common pathways to sustain life they do so with the use of different sources of energy and carbon. Metabolism consists of two main types of reactions, catabolic and anabolic.

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: -What Is Metabolism? 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. Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
