<span>Metabolism is the chemical reactions that take place inside a living organism. The reaction occurs in the cells.  Digestion can be the best association to metabolism. The metabolic system recognizes which substances can be nutritious or poisonous. In order to complete this process, water is needed.  The chemicals are dissolved in water and transported. Without water, no reaction can take place.</span>

Metabolism is considered as the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions within the living organism’s body cells.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Assuming that the rest of the genome is normal, cells with an inactivating mutation in one copy of a tumor-suppressor gene with the second copy of the gene still wild-type are most likely to show no changes in DNA sequence.

Tumor suppressor genes are normally present in the body. These function properly and keep processing the cell growth and cell death (apoptosis). It can also suppress tumor development. If both copies of a tumor suppressor gene is mutated then only it cause a change in cell growth and form a tumor. So these are recessive in nature. And if only one gene is mutated then it shows no mutation. When a tumor suppressor gene is inactivated by mutation, the protein it encodes is not produced or does not function properly, and as a result, uncontrolled cell division can occur. Such mutations can contribute to the development of cancer.

timurjin [86]
I believe Formed in our bones, hydroxyapatite crystals are mineral complexes comprised of calcium and phosphorus. The hardness and rigidity of bone is due to the presence of mineral salt in the osteoid matrix, which is a crystalline complex of calcium and phosphate. Calcified bone contains about 25% organic matrix, 5% water and 70% inorganic mineral.

What is the role of oxygen in photosynthesis
Gala2k [10]
Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy of the sun is converted to chemical energy. ... The oxygen so released is used in the respiration process to break down complex molecules (generated in photosynthesis) and releases energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules.
