anabolism
metabolism (, from "metabolē", "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms. the three main purposes of metabolism are: the conversion of food to energy to run cellular processes; the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates; and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes. these enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. (the word metabolism can also refer to the sum of all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms, including digestion and the transport of substances into and between different cells, in which case the above described set of reactions within the cells is called intermediary metabolism or intermediate metabolism).

there are also other animals that consume living vegetal material, whose residues are passed to the soil. the products from the living organisms metabolism are the secondary sources of soil organic matter that also includes the corpses of these organisms. some animals, like earthworms, ants and centipedes contribute to both vertical and horizontal translocation of organic material.









































additional sources of soil organic matter include plant root exudates and charcoal.
