Isolated in-vitro reactions carried out in laboratories cannot be termed as metabolic because they are conducted in a controlled environment and are simulated then why is an in-vitro reaction conducted in a test tube termed as Metabolic reaction? They are also conducted in a controlled environment and are simulated, No?
Answers & Comments
Answer:
Metabolism can be defined as- The sum total of all the chemical reactions occurring in a living cell or organism'. It involves the formation of various molecules and many molecules get broken down. All organisms exhibit metabolism. e.g. protozoans, algae. fungi, bacteria. etc. Metabolic reactions cannot happen in a cell-free system. While isolated in-vitro reactions carried out in laboratories cannot be termed as metabolism because they are conducted in a controlled environment and are simulated. But such reactions can be termed as living reactions because they are the reactions going on inside a living system.
