Structure of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a central intermediate in energy metabolism. Metabolism (from Greek: Î¼ÎµÏÎ±Î²Î¿Î»Î® metabolÄ, change) is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms.
The body's metabolic process usually involves the oxidation of glucose. When the body cannot get enough oxygen to meet the demands for energy, cells begin using the anaerobic process (without oxygen). This process breaks down glucose and glycogen to lactic acid which then diffuses into the blood stream.
