Answer:

Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat or drink into energy. During this complex process , calories in food and beverages are combined with oxygen to release the energy your body needs to function.

Even when you are at rest , your body needs energy for all its hidden functions such as, breathing, circulating blood , adjusting hormone levels and growing or repairing cells. The number of calories your body uses to carry out these basic functions is known as basal metabolic rate - Or what you might call metabolism.
