Translated version
Metabolism
It is the totality of chemical reactions occurring in an organism. Organisms absorb substances and energy from the environment and use them to maintain their vital functions. For example, plants perform photosynthesis, and animals feed on other organisms. Energy is required for growth, movement, and reproduction.
Original version
Medžiagų apykaita (metabolizmas)
Tai visuma cheminių reakcijų, vykstančių organizme. Organizmai pasisavina medžiagas ir energiją iš aplinkos ir naudoja jas savo gyvybinėms funkcijoms palaikyti. Pavyzdžiui, augalai vykdo fotosintezę, o gyvūnai maitinasi kitais organizmais. Energija reikalinga augimui, judėjimui, dauginimuisi.
