Function of Metabolism includes all except
A i.e. Extraction of nutrients from foodExtraction of nutrients from food is not metabolism. Metabolism is oxidation of nutrients from food to produce energy.QMetabolism is a combination of two processes, namely:Anabolism : synthetic reactions that build up substancesCatabolism : reactions involving breakdown or oxidation of fuel molecules (breakdown of substrate)Both catabolism and anabolism proceed only until equilibrium is achieved. Equilibrium is a mechanism for biological control of rate at which these reactions occur.
Extraction of nutrients from food
Breakdown of substrate
Equilibrium of biochemical with intracellular components
Using building blocks for synthesis
