520			_a"Nutrition is the science concerned with the interpretation of how nutrients and other substances in food interact to support various life-sustaining processes in organisms. Within this discipline, processes such as health, maintenance, reproduction, growth, and disease of an organism are studied in relation to food. Metabolism which is the set of chemical reactions crucial for sustaining life, encompasses three primary functions. Firstly, it involves the elimination of nitrogenous wastes. Secondly, it facilitates the conversion of food into energy to fuel cellular processes. Lastly, metabolism plays a role in converting food into building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other essential components. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the concepts of nutrition and metabolism. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied aspects that fall under this category. This book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline"-- Back cover.
