    processes controlling metabolism's rate and balance in the body

    Metabolic regulation refers to the processes that control the rate and balance of metabolism, which is the set of chemical reactions in the body that convert food into energy and building blocks for growth. This regulation ensures that cells receive the right amount of energy and nutrients they need to function properly, and it involves hormones and enzymes that respond to changes in the body's internal and external environment.
