The sum total of the enzyme-catalysed reactions that occur in a living organism.
Metabolism can be divided into two:
- Catabolism: the enzymatic proces to break down the food to nutrients that can be easily absorbed by body system.
- Anabolism: the process where the body uses energy generated from other reactions to synthesise complex molecules.
