Question

Protein metabolism produced a waste product which is very toxic to the human body. What does the body do to compenstae for this metabolic waste product?

Chemical pathways by which living things function, especially those that provide cellular energy, such as the transformation of energy from food into the energy of ATP. Metabolism also focuses on chemical pathways involving the synthesis of new biomolecules and the elimination of waste.
