Metabolism

Real World Example

Imagine trying to manage your daily schedule, filled with various tasks like work, chores, and social activities. Just like your schedule is a collection of all the activities you need to complete in a day to keep your life running smoothly, metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions occurring in an organism to sustain life. Each task in your schedule is like a specific chemical reaction, and just as all your tasks together determine how your day goes, all the chemical reactions together determine how well an organism functions.
