Metabolism

Metabolism refers to all chemical reactions and biological processes occurring in organisms, which involve the acquisition, conversion and utilization of energy. Metabolic processes are usually carried out through a series of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes, which are called metabolic pathways. Each metabolic pathway is composed of specific enzymes and substrates, forming a complex network to ensure that cells can obtain and utilize energy effectively.

Metabolism is the basis of life support, which covers the transformation process of all energy and substances in organisms. Understanding the mechanism of metabolism is not only very important for basic biology research, but also has an important influence on medicine, nutrition and environmental science. By studying metabolism, we can better understand the root causes of health and diseases, so as to develop effective treatment strategies and intervention measures.
