What do you mean by metabolism i need easy definition of metabolism and define meaning of oxidation as per biology ?????i need handwritten ans in a sheet of paper only
Dear Student,
Handwritten solutions are not possible. Please refer the answers given below:
1) Metabolism is the sum of all the biochemical reactions taking place in our body which involve uptake or release of energy.
2) Oxidation - Oxidation is defined as a process that involves a gain of oxygen or a loss of hydrogen. When a substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen during a reaction, it is oxidized.
Regards
Handwritten solutions are not possible. Please refer the answers given below:
1) Metabolism is the sum of all the biochemical reactions taking place in our body which involve uptake or release of energy.
Metabolism is of two types:
1. Catabolism: Breakdown of biomolecules in the body to release energy.
For example: Respiration - Breakdown of glucose
2. Anabolism: Synthesis of biomolecules by the consumption of energy.
For example: Photosynthesis - Synthesis of food by the plants.
2) Oxidation - Oxidation is defined as a process that involves a gain of oxygen or a loss of hydrogen. When a substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen during a reaction, it is oxidized.
