Best Answer

Metabolically diverse means "able to perform various types of metabolism".

Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that occur in living organisms to maintain life. These reactions fit into two categories: catabolism (the process of breaking down organic matter to release energy) and anabolism (the process of using energy to synthesise molecules needed by the cell, such as proteins).

Some examples of different types of metabolism are fermentation, respiration and photosynthesis.
