Metabolism refers to all the physical and chemical processes in the body that convert or use energy, such as:
- Breathing
- Circulating blood
- Controlling body temperature
- Contracting muscles
- Digesting food and nutrients
- Eliminating waste through urine and feces
- Functioning of the brain and nerves

Metabolism is the complex chemical process es your body uses for normal functioning and sustaining life, including breaking down food and drink to energy and building or repairing your body.

How long does anaerobic metabolisms last before aerobic metabolisms kicks in?
About 90 seconds
What speeds up metabolisms?
The drug that you use!~
Do different races of people have different fat burning metabolisms?
No, people of different races do not have different fat burning metabolisms. We are all human and metabolism food the same way on the inside -- calories in, calories out.
Do spayed and neutered pets get fat?
That depends on their metabolisms, as well as how much they eat and exercise.
What hormone regulates thyroid function?
thyroid gland regulates metabolisms of the body
Do teenagers lose weight faster than adults?
Yes, because their metabolisms are much faster than adults' metabolisms. They also have more free time on their hands to exercise, whereas most adults do not due to things such as jobs and kids.
Birds have relatively metabolisms adn therefore must consume amounts of food?
high, large
Do microorganisms need nutrients?
yes, microorganisms need nutrients for their growth. That nutrients also used for their own metabolisms. but all the microorganism's doesn't take same type of nutrient. Based on the categories and metabolisms it require different/ varies nutrients.
What is the System of glands that regulates metabolisms reproduction and other functions?
That would be the Endocrine system.
Why does the speed of metabolisms differ?
The rate of metabolisms can differ for many reasons. Age, gender, and level of physical activity are the main reasons. Younger adults/children and teens, generally have faster metabolisms. It has also been found in scientific studies that men have faster metabolisms than women due to genetic and bodily differences. Finally, people who are physically active, and have more muscle mass will have a fast rate of metabolism, due to the fact that more muscle mass=faster metabolism. There are other factors that could come into play as well. People that have eating disorders( i.e. anorexia/bulimia nervosa) generally have very slow metabolisms because they aren't eating properly, and in the case of anorexia, frequently enough. You need to take in calories in order to burn them. That is why it is suggested that about 5 to 6 smaller meals throughout the day can aid in weight loss, because it will increase your metabolic rate, allowing you to burn more calories.
What other criteria can salt crystals be distinguished from living things?
They Can't Reproduce, They can't evolve over time, and they do not have metabolisms.
Will I get fat when I'm older?
As people age, their metabolisms slow down. If you continue the diet you had at a younger age, you are likely to gain weight.
