Metabolism is a broad term that includes all chemical reactions that occur within body cells. It includes breaking down substances into simpler building blocks (the process of catabolism), synthesizing more complex cellular structures from simpler substances (anabolism), and using nutrients and oxygen to produce (via cellular respiration) ATP, the energy-rich molecules that power cellular activities.Given what you know about metabolism, which of the following statements is false? Metabolism is regulated largely by the nervous system. Regulation of body temperature Typically only a local effect, not spreading to the entire circulation

Metabolism can be defined as the combination of catabolism and anabolism.The combination of simpler compounds to form complex compounds is known as anabolism.

The breaking of complex compounds into simpler compounds is known as catabolism.

The metabolism is not a local effect but is a global effect. It helps in maintaining equilibrium inside the body. It can be in terms of temperature, pH and et cetera.
