The sum of all chemical reactions in an organism

Real World Example

Imagine trying to manage a household where every family member has different tasks, schedules, and needs. Just like coordinating these daily activities to keep the household running smoothly, metabolism involves the coordination of countless chemical reactions within an organism to maintain life. Each family member’s task is akin to a chemical reaction, and the overall harmony of the house reflects the sum of these reactions, ensuring everything functions seamlessly, much like the organism's metabolic processes.
