Answer: metabolism

Step-by-step explanation:

The metabolism can be define as the process in which multiple chemical reactions takes place in the body of the organisms so as to sustain life. The metabolism can be catabolic or anabolic.

Anabolism results in the formation of complex molecules from the simple ones. The catabolism results due to the break down of the large molecules into the small and simple ones.
