What exactly is metabolism?
In: 5
Every single answer in this thread until now is wrong.
What metabolism is, _exactly_:
The chemical _reactions_ in your body necessary to keep you alive. Mostly with the goal of converting what you take in into the stuff your body needs (like energy and manageable waste).
Metabolic reactions can be _anabolic_ (building up stuff) or _catabolic_ (breaking down stuff).
