Detailed explanation-1: -Metabolism is the sum of all catabolic (break down) and anabolic (synthesis) reactions in the body. The metabolic rate measures the amount of energy used to maintain life. An organism must ingest a sufficient amount of food to maintain its metabolic rate if the organism is to stay alive for very long.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metabolism is a combination of two processes: anabolism and catabolism. Anabolic pathways require energy to generate macromolecules such as lipid and nucleotides, whereas the catabolic pathway breaks molecules to produce energy.
