Which of the following statements about metabolism is correct?
hard Q9 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand metabolism
Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions in an organism.Step 2: Analyze options
Energy production is part of metabolism but not all. Producing offspring is reproduction. Responding to stimuli is a different characteristic. Metabolism includes anabolic (building) and catabolic (breaking down) reactions.Step 3: Why other options are wrong
Only stating energy production ignores synthesis reactions. Reproduction and response to stimuli are separate processes.Final Answer:
Metabolism includes both anabolic and catabolic reactions → Option DQuick Check:
Metabolism = Anabolic + Catabolic reactions ✅
Quick Trick: Metabolism = building + breaking reactions.
Common Mistakes:
- Thinking metabolism is only energy release.
