Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that happen in the cells of living organisms to sustain life. These processes allow organisms to grow, reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. There are two types of metabolic reactions in the body catablic and anabolic. Catabolic reactions release energy by the brake down of molecules the easies example of this is ATP, ATP is the bodys form of energy. when ATP breaks off a phosphate it releases a surg of energy that cells use to maintain a stable environment. In response to this action, anabolic reactions store energy ulltimately adding a free floting phosohate back to ATP and the process continues. The combination of both reactions keeps the body going and prevents entrophy which is the break down of molecules in a un health way, essentially entropy is the reason for metabolism. 6.
