What is cell metabolism and metabolic pathways

Cell Metabolism is a process of both physical andprocess of breaking down the complex molecule
chemical reactions required for synthesizing thestructure into smaller groups for yielding energy and
essential nutrients by the living cells in order to makedecreasing power, and cell anabolism is the metabolic
