Answer:

Chemical reactions that take place inside living things are called biochemical reactions. Explanation:The sum of all the biochemical reactions in an organism is referred to as metabolism. Metabolism includes both exothermic (heat-releasing) chemical reactions and endothermic (heat-absorbing) chemical reactions.
