The correct response is Metabolism. Metabolism encompasses the chemical processes by which the body converts food into energy, as well as how it uses that energy for various bodily functions. Digestion is a part of this process, as it refers specifically to the breakdown of food into smaller components for absorption, but metabolism includes all biochemical reactions involved in energy production and utilization.
