Detailed explanation-1: -Metabolism is the process by which the body changes food and drink into energy. During this process, calories in food and drinks mix with oxygen to make the energy the body needs. Even at rest, a body needs energy for all it does.
Detailed explanation-2: -Energy metabolism is the general process by which living cells acquire and use the energy needed to stay alive, to grow, and to reproduce. How is the energy released while breaking the chemical bonds of nutrient molecules captured for other uses by the cells?
Detailed explanation-3: -: to change (food) into a form that can be used by your body : to process and use (substances brought into your body) by metabolism.
Detailed explanation-4: -These two opposite processes-the first requiring energy and the second producing energy-are referred to as anabolic (building) and catabolic (breaking down) pathways, respectively. Consequently, metabolism is composed of building (anabolism) and degradation (catabolism). Figure 2.3.
