Metabolism by definition is the life – sustaining chemical activity, the series of processes by which food is converted into the energy and other products needed to sustain life.
The body converts food into energy which is utilized in normal functioning of organs, like breathing, beating of the heart, digestion, temperature regulation, blood circulation etc. These functions utilize energy day and night and even when at rest. Body performs two types of chemical reactions – one that releases energy – another that absorbs this energy.
