Answer 1

Metabolic reactions take place in both in living organism and can also be performed outside the body in a cell free system, i.e., an isolated metabolic reactionin vitro.An isolated metabolic reaction is the reaction which is carried out in-vitro i.e. outside the cell in a cell-free system. Such reactions are performed in a test tube. Hence, they are living reactions but not living things.Metabolic reactions can be demonstrated outside the body in isolated cell-free systems.
