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. what is false about metabolism?

The statement that is false is metabolism is regulated largely by the nervous system.

Explanation:

The metabolism reactions are controlled by the enzymes specific for each metabolic reactions. After a signal is generated, specific enzymes that detect the signal starts up the metabolic reactions.

When there is a need to stop a certain metabolic reaction, then the mechanism of feedback inhibition is used which stops the enzyme from carrying out any further reactions. Hence, the statement that metabolism is regulated largely by the nervous system is false.
