Metabolism Defined

Menu (linked Index) Metabolism Defined Last Update: October 26, 2024 Introduction Metabolism Defined Big Picture (Catabolism,Respiration,Anabolism) Conclusion Introduction Metabolism involves the bodily chemical reactions that sustain life. In this post we’ll define human Metabolism in the context of the breaking down of nutrients (Catabolism), energy production (Cellular Respiration), and molecule building (Anabolism).  I’d recommend that
