Can someone please give me a SIMPLE definition of metabolism. I've seached tons of dictionaries, but they all give a long and confusing definition and I'm not sure if I understand the concept.. Please help!!

Easy! Metabolism is the rate of how fast your food digests

Not exactly Brad. Metabolism is the rate of energy conversion in the cells from sugar to work energy.
