True or False

The process of breaking a complex substance down into smaller components is called metabolism

I said true

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "metabolism" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

Your answer is correct. The statement "The process of breaking a complex substance down into smaller components is called metabolism" is true. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that occur within an organism to maintain life, and it encompasses two processes: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism involves the breakdown of complex molecules into smaller ones, while anabolism is the process of building complex molecules from simpler ones.
