Definition of metabolism in English English dictionary

The complete set of chemical reactions that occur in living cells

The term for the way cells chemically change food so that it can be used to keep the body alive It is a two-part process One part is called catabolism-when the body uses food for energy The other is called anabolism-when the body uses food to build or mend cells Insulin is necessary for the metabolism of food

the process of building the body's molecular structures from nutrients (anabolism) and breaking them down for energy (catabolism)

Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical and physical changes that take place within the body and enable its continued growth and functioning Metabolism involves the breakdown of complex organic constituents of the body with the liberation of energy, which is required for other processes, and the building up of complex substances, which form the material of the tissues and organs

exchange of matter and energy between an organism and its environment and the transformation of this matter and energy within the organism

the process of building the body's molecular structures from nutrients (anabolism) and breaking them down for energy production (catabolism)

The chemical and physiological processes by which the body builds and maintains itself and by which it breaks down food and nutrients to produce energy

the energy-producing and energy-utilizing processes that occur in the human body

The chemical processes that occur with every living organism The chemicals at the end of the chemical process are referred to as metabolites

All the chemical processes that create living matter from food and also produce waste products from the breakdown of food and living matter

The biochemical processes that sustain a living cell or organism

The process of cells burning food to produce energy This is similar to a car's engine burning gasoline to produce the energy that is used to rotate the car's wheels The cell's mitochondria acts as the car's engine, the food we eat acts as the gasoline, and the energy we need to move and think is similar to the energy used to move the car Also referred to as energy metabolism

a term used to describe how the body converts food to energy, and then gets rid of waste products

the organic processes (in a cell or organism) that are necessary for life

(meh-TAB-o-liszm) All of the processes that occur in the body that turn the food you eat into energy your body can use

Hence, metabolism may be either constructive (anabolism), or destructive (katabolism)

The biochemical processes that sustain a living cell or organism Usually divided into two types: catabolism, the breakdown of complex substances into simple ones, with the release energy; and anabolism, the building up of complex substances from simpler ones, with the absorption or storage of energy

the sum of the processes by which a substance is handled in the body

The physical and chemical processes by which food is converted by a living organism to provide energy and produce and maintain cells and tissues

The act or process, by which living tissues or cells take up and convert into their own proper substance the nutritive material brought to them by the blood, or by which they transform their cell protoplasm into simpler substances, which are fitted either for excretion or for some special purpose, as in the manufacture of the digestive ferments

The processes by which the body breaks things down or alters them so they can be eliminated; also, the processes by which the body extracts energy and nutrients from food

the marked and rapid transformation of a larva into an adult that occurs in some animals

Physical and chemical processes taking place among the ions, atoms, and molecules of the body

Your metabolism is the way that chemical processes in your body cause food to be used in an efficient way, for example to make new cells and to give you energy. the chemical processes by which food is changed into energy in your body (metabole ). Sum of all the chemical reactions that take place in every cell of a living organism, providing energy for the processes of life and synthesizing new cellular material. The term intermediary metabolism refers to the vast web of interconnected chemical reactions by which all the cell's constituents, many rarely found outside it, are created and destroyed. Anabolic reactions use energy to build complex molecules from simpler organic compounds (e.g., proteins from amino acids, carbohydrates from sugars, fats from fatty acids and glycerol); catabolic reactions break complex molecules down into simpler ones, releasing chemical energy. For most organisms, the energy comes ultimately from the Sun, whether they obtain it by photosynthesis and store it in organic compounds or by consuming those organisms that do so. In some bacteria in special environments such as deep-sea vents, the energy comes from chemical reactions instead. Energy is transferred within the cell and the organism by ATP; anabolic reactions consume it, and catabolic reactions generate it. Every cellular chemical reaction is mediated by a specific enzyme. The process that breaks down a substance is usually not the reverse of the process that makes it, using a different enzyme. See also digestion; fermentation; glycolysis; tricarboxylic acid cycle

{i} process in which food is converted to provide energy and to produce and maintain cells and tissues (Physiology, Chemistry)

The series of chemical changes which take place in an organism, by means of which food is manufactured and utilized and waste materials are eliminated

A general term for the physical and chemical processes and reactions to them taking place in the body These processes are primarily concerned with the way nutrients are used in the body

The chemical and physical processes continuously going on in the body involving creation and breakdown of molecules; a process utilizing the raw materials of nutrients, oxygen, and vitamins, along with enzymes, to produce energy for bodily functions

Physical and chemical changes that take place within an organism; all energy and material transformations that occur within living cells Includes growth as well as energy changes: all transformations of chemical energy of foodstuffs to mechanical energy or heat Includes anabolism (the conversion of ingested substances into the constituents of protoplasm), and catabolism (the breakdown of substances into simpler substances, the end products usually being excreted)

All of the processes that occur in the body that turn the food you eat into energy your body can use

The chemical processes in cells that are involved in using energy and building substances the cells needs Glucose metabolism relates to how cells use or store glucose Anabolism refers to the building up processes, catabolism refers to the breaking down processes

Sum of the physical and chemical changes that take place in living organisms These changes include both synthesis (anabolism) and breakdown (catabolism) of body constituents In a narrower sense, the physical and chemical changes that take place in a given chemical substance within an organism It includes the uptake and distribution within the body of chemical compounds, the changes (biotransformations) undergone by such substances, and the elimination of the compounds and their metabolites

the transformation in the body of the chemical energy of foodstuffs to mechanical energy or heat
