         <link>https://padlet.com/drbscience/dccnvkeqrd0jt6rp/wish/2965163384</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Metabolism is a set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms. It includes breaking down molecules to provide energy and constructing molecules to form cellular structures. Metabolism is divided into two categories: catabolism (breaking down molecules for energy) and anabolism (using energy to build up cellular components).]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[The journey of food to energy is a complex process that involves several organs and biological reactions. It starts with ingestion and digestion, followed by absorption, metabolism, and finally cellular respiration. Through this process, food is broken down, nutrients are absorbed, and energy is produced to fuel the body.]]></description>
