Answer: basal metabolism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metabolism comprises everything that goes on inside your body to maintain and build tissues, produce energy and ensure you stay healthy. Basal metabolism only refers to the basic, or least, amount of energy your body needs to survive when you’re resting. It does not include additional energy required to support even a small amount of activity once you're awake and on-the-go.
