Term Name: metabolic process
Synonyms: metabolic process resulting in cell growth, metabolism, metabolism resulting in cell growth
Definition: A cellular process consisting of the biochemical pathways by which a living organism transforms chemical substances. This includes including anabolism (biosynthetic process) and catabolism (catabolic process). Metabolic processes includes the transformation of small molecules, as well macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, protein synthesis and degradation.
