1. metabolic

   Metabolic refers to the biochemical processes that occur within living organisms to maintain life. These processes involve multiple sequential chemical reactions that convert nutrients from food into energy, which is used to fuel bodily functions such as growth, repair, movement, reproduction, and response to the environment. It also includes the removal of waste products through metabolism. Metabolism can be divided into two categories: anabolism, the process of synthesis of cell components, and catabolism, the process of breaking down organic matter to harvest energy.
