About Metabolism
Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain structure and respond to their environments. Metabolism is divided into tow categories, Catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism breaks down organic matter, and anabolism uses energy to construct components of cells like proteins and nucleic acids.
