    Category: Medicine

  • metabolism: the chemical processes participating in and essential for the phenomena of life
    Category: Medicine

  • metabolite: usually a compound that is either used or produced by an enzyme-catalysed reaction. If the enzyme is dysfunctional, a metabolite used by the reaction it catalyses will accumulate, whereas a metabolite formed as a result of the reaction will be absent or reduced in concentration
    Category: Botany and zoology
