All of the chemical reactions that occur inside your body's cells to produce energy are collectively referred to as metabolism. Metabolism is a broad term that encompasses all the biochemical processes that convert food into energy, utilize that energy for cellular functions, and manage the synthesis and breakdown of various molecules. It includes two main categories: catabolism (the breakdown of molecules to produce energy) and anabolism (the synthesis of molecules, which often requires energy). The specific metabolic pathway most commonly associated with energy production is ** cellular respiration**, which primarily produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as the energy currency of the cell.
