The sum of all chemical reactions in an organism

Real World Example

Imagine trying to manage a hectic schedule where you juggle work, chores, family time, and personal hobbies. This is similar to metabolism in that just as your schedule comprises various tasks that need to be completed to keep your day running smoothly, metabolism involves a myriad of chemical reactions that are necessary for an organism to function properly. In this analogy, each task in your schedule represents a chemical reaction, and the successful completion of your day depends on how well you manage these tasks, just as an organism's health depends on the efficient coordination of its metabolic processes.
