The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel 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.
HEALTH FEATURE ARCHIVE The metabolic rate is the amount of energy liberated per unit of time. Our metabolic rate is represented by the work we do, heat from body metabolism, and stored energy, such as in the form of fat. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the metabolic rate determined at rest 12 to 14 hours after the last meal. In healthy humans the BMR is approximately 2000 kcal/day.
