metabolism
의미: The set of chemical processes that occur within a living organism to maintain life, including the conversion of food to energy.
Metabolism encompasses all the chemical reactions in living cells — both building up (anabolism) and breaking down (catabolism) molecules. In popular usage, 'metabolism' often refers specifically to the rate at which the body burns calories. The adjective 'metabolic' appears in terms like 'metabolic rate' and 'metabolic syndrome.' It collocates with 'rate,' 'basal,' 'fast,' and 'slow.'
