What is Cellular metabolism?

Cellular metabolism is how cells work hard to stay alive and do their jobs.

Think of a cell like a tiny chef in a kitchen, cellular metabolism is all the cooking and cleaning that happens so the chef can make tasty meals and keep things tidy.

When the chef cooks, they use ingredients like sugar or food to make energy. This part of metabolism is like making money, it’s how cells get energy, which they use to do everything from growing to moving.

After cooking, the chef also cleans up and fixes things. Sometimes they need to build new tools or repair old ones. This part of metabolism is like spending money, it’s how cells build and fix themselves using energy.

Cells are always working, cooking when they need energy and cleaning when they need to grow or heal. Just like a chef, they never stop moving food around the kitchen!
