Metabolism (from Greek : μεταβολή "metabolē", "change" or Greek : μεταβολισμός metabolismos , "outthrow") is the set of life -sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms . These enzyme -catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. The word metabolism can also refer to all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms, including digestion and the transport of substances into and between different cells, in which case the set of reactions within the cells is called intermediary metabolism or intermediate metabolism . Metabolism is usually divided into two categories. Catabolism breaks down organic matter, for example to harvest energy in cellular respiration .

He had long arms and scoliosis, so his spine would bend when he deadlifted and his range of motion in the deadlift was only six or eight inches.Paul Edward Anderson (October 17, 1932 - August 15, 1994) was an American weightlifter , strongman , and powerlifter .

An electromagnetic field (also EMF or EM field ) is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects . It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field. The electromagnetic field extends indefinitely throughout space and describes the electromagnetic interaction . It is one of the four fundamental forces of nature (the others are gravitation , the weak interaction , and the strong interaction ).
Electromagnetic field
The electromagnetic waves that compose electromagnetic radiation can be imagined as a self-propagating transverse oscillating wave of electric and magnetic fields. This diagram shows a plane linearly polarized EMR wave propagating from left to right. The electric field is in a vertical plane and the magnetic field in a horizontal plane.
