Answer:

Metabolism is the sum of all catabolic (break down) and anabolic (synthesis) reactions in the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

The metabolic rate measures the amount of energy used to maintain life. An organism must ingest a sufficient amount of food to maintain its metabolic rate if the organism is to stay alive for very long.
