Abstract
Metabolism includes all activities by which cells acquire and use energy as they build, break down of remodel organic molecules. The research done in the articles were on how metabolic syndromes affect the studied groups. The groups are studied over a period of time and

This study used 14 obese subjects, MRI determination of subcutaneous fat and plasma glucose, insulin. The results of that study was a significant correlation was observed between the amount of subcutaneous fat loss and the percentage reduction in both TNF-a, and IL-6 plasma levels (Formoso et al., 2012, p. xx).
Metabolism unfolded We take a lot of consideration in the calories that we intake and how different types of food affect us. Some people use exercise as a way to combat the effect of caloric intake, while some people fast, what these people are trying to do is change how their bodies metabolism functions. What these three completely different experiments have in come is trying to find a solution of how people can eat and exercise for that metabolism to generate that body and keep it healthy while changing something like diet.
Metabolism Defined
Metabolism is all of the enzyme-mediated chemical reactions by which cells build and break down organic molecules; the body has metabolic pathways which are series of enzyme-mediated reactions by which cells build, remodel, or break down organic molecules. While some metabolic pathways are linear, which means that it goes in order from reactant to product. While other metabolic pathway reactions are cyclic, in cyclic normally the first requires the last step to precede it. Both pathways are common in cells, both involve thousands of molecules and are quite complex.
3. What is “metabolism”? What does human metabolism have to do with energy balance and body weight? Answer: metabolism- the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. Food is measured in calories which the body processes as energy. Additional calories must be burned through exercise or physical activity or it will be stored as fat.
Energy metabolism comes in different types such as Anabolism and Catabolism energy. They all make sure that energy breaks down

Metabolism is a chemical process that converts fuel from food into energy needed for the body’s activities. For example, thinking, running and jumping etc. are all an example of the bodies activities.
Explain The Physiology Of Two Named Body Systems In Relation To Energy Metabolism In The Body

Energy is expended in a number of different ways such as the stated above; resting metabolic rate, thermic effect of activity, thermic effect of feeding and adaptive thermogenesis. An individual’s energy balance is the balance of calories consumed through eating and drinking compared to calories burned through physical activity, what an individual drinks and eat is energy in. what an individual burns though physical activity is energy out. Body weight is maintained and stable in the state of energy balance, the chemical bonds of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in food contain chemical energy which is then transformed in the human body in multiple metabolic processes to cellular energy, heat or stored energy. An individual’s burns a certain number of calories just by breathing air and digested food. They also burn a certain number of calories through their daily routine, an important part of maintaining energy balance is the amount of physical activity an

Introduction: Cellular respiration and fermentation are used in cells to generate ATP. All cells in a living organism require energy or ATP to perform cellular tasks (Urry, Lisa A., et al. , pg. 162). Since energy can not be created (The first law of thermodynamics) just transformed, the cell must get its energy from an outside source (Urry, Lisa A., et al. , pg.162). “Totality of an organism’s chemical reactions is called metabolism” (Urry, Lisa A., et al., pg. 142). Cells get this energy through metabolic pathways, or metabolism. As it says in Campbell biology, “Metabolic pathways that release stored energy by breaking down complex molecules are called catabolic pathways” (Urry, Lisa A., et al. pg.
Campbell, Neil A., Jane B. Reese, Martha R. Taylor, Eric J. Simon. Biology 105 Taken From; Biology: Concepts & Connections (Fifth Edition) Benjamin Cumming, San Francisco, CA, 2013.
All of the chemical processes of the cell are called metabolism. The breakdown or degradation of complex organic molecules to yield simple molecules and energy is called catabolism. Anabolism is the total biosynthetic processes where large complex molecules are made from small simple molecules. Anabolic processes require energy because order is being created and thus work must be done. Overall, both processes of metabolism must occur concurrently because catabolism provides the energy necessary for anabolism.
The present study revealed that both TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly correlated with BMI in both OSA and OSA+HT patients. This correlation indicated that OSA could upregulate the concentrations of these cytokines independent of obesity [31]. Furthermore, a positive correlation between circulating TNF-α, IL-6 and AHI was deduced. Similar results were obtained by Steiropoulos et al. [32]. The positive correlation between these cytokines and AHI indicates increment of inflammation with increased severity of OSA.
Metabolism is defined as the sum total of the chemical reactions occurring in an organism. Mice were used to determine metabolic rate by the rate of oxygen consumption. Consequently, body mass corresponds directly with metabolic rate because the mouse that weight the most (42.9 g) also consumed the most oxygen per minute (Avg.O2/m = 2.94 ml). In contrast, the smallest mouse (12g) oxygen consumption only consisted of Avg.O2/m of 1.44 ml.

“Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that happen in living organisms to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments” (Metabolism). Metabolism breaks down the food that we eat, transforming it into energy for our bodies. Metabolism is broken down into two categories Anabolism and Catabolism, which help aid in the chemical reaction process. Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism, and each chemical reaction is coordinated with other body functions (Dowshen). Metabolism is a constant process that begins when we're born and ends when we die. It is a vital process for all life not just humans, and
