Abstract
Maintaining energy balance within the body is just as crucial as other vital physiological
processes. Energy is generated through a myriad of chemical reactions occurring within the
cells of all living organisms. This unique characteristic enables living organisms to extract
energy from their surroundings and utilize it for essential activities such as growth,
development, and reproduction. While it is commonly assumed that individuals with lower
body weight have higher metabolic rates, and vice versa for overweight individuals, this
notion does not hold true universally. Metabolism, the intricate process by which organisms
convert energy from food into usable energy for cellular functions, can be divided into two
main categories: anabolism and catabolism. Anabolism involves the synthesis of complex
macromolecules, while catabolism entails their breakdown, both orchestrated through a series
of chemical reactions. The goal of this article is to delve deeply into the detailed physiology
of metabolism, specifically focusing on the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
By elucidating the underlying mechanisms of energy production and utilization within the
body, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these macronutrients are
processed and utilized to sustain life and maintain optimal health. Through this exploration,
we seek to shed light on the intricate interplay between dietary intake, metabolic pathways,
and physiological outcomes, ultimately advancing our knowledge of human metabolism and
its implications for overall well-being
