Answer:
metabolism
Explanation:
Metabolism is a chemical reaction that involves break down of compounds to simple molecules that provide energy or synthesis of compounds. Metabolism can be classified into two; catabolism and anabolism.
Catabolism is the break down of componds through a cascade of events to provide energy in form of ATP, NADP. Anabolism is the the synthesis of compounds using energy released during catabolism to form complex structures. An example of catabolism is glycolysis and anabolism is the formation of proteins etc.
