  • 3 answers
The sum total of all biochemical reactions occurring in a body is called metabolism.
Sum total of all the reactions occuring together in an organism whether unicellular or multicellular is metabolism.

Yogita Ingle 4 years ago

Metabolism is the total amount of the biochemical reactions involved in maintaining the living condition of the cells in an organism. All living organisms require energy for different essential processes and for producing new organic substances.

The metabolic processes help in growth and reproduction and help in maintaining the structures of living organisms. The organisms respond to the surrounding environment due to metabolic activities. All the chemical reactions occurring in the living organisms from digestion to transportation of substances from cell to cell require energy.
