    Glossary Metabolism

    chemical reactions in cells that sustain life processes

    Metabolism refers to the complex set of chemical reactions that occur within living organisms to maintain life. These reactions are divided into two main categories: catabolism, which breaks down molecules to produce energy, and anabolism, which uses energy to construct components of cells such as proteins and nucleic acids.
