    Metabolism

    • Metabolism refers to all the chemical and physical processes that take place in the body

    Types of Metabolism

    • Anabolism: the type of metabolism that builds tissue
    • Catabolism: the type of metabolism that breaks down materials

    Metabolism

    • Metabolism refers to all the chemical and physical processes that take place in the body
    • It involves two types of metabolic processes: anabolism and catabolism

    Anabolism and Catabolism

    • Anabolism: the metabolic process that builds tissue

    Water's Importance in Animal Bodies

    • Water provides the basis for all fluid in an animal's body
    • Blood circulation relies on water
    • Moisture is necessary for digestion to break down nutrients and move food
    • Water is essential for milk production
    • It helps maintain a constant body temperature
    • Water removes waste and toxins from the animal's body
    • Animals require approximately 1.5 kg of water for every 1 kg of solid feed consumed
