Answer:

a. series of chemical reactions necessary for the use of the raw material.  

Explanation:

The term metabolism is used to describe the various chemical reactions in the body that meet the structural and energy needs of a living being.  Among the purposes of these chemical reactions, we can mention the synthesis and breakdown of biomolecules, energy production and the conversion of nutrient molecules into macromolecule precursor units.

Metabolism is not unique to humans and occurs in all living beings, whether unicellular or multicellular. The reactions that make up metabolism can be classified into two major metabolic processes: anabolism and catabolism.

This has to do with blind spots: What parts of the eye are involved with this inability to see? How do these eye parts function?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

  • Blindspot
  • It has a vital role. It is the only way out of the optic nerve. By this hole optic nerve exits from the eye and goes towards the brain.
  • It can be proved by a simple experiment. A paper sheet is taken. Then a cross and a circle are drawn side by side on that paper. Then we will focus on the cross. Then by closing one eye and by bringing the paper slowly towards our face, the circle will be disappeared at a certain point.        

Explanation:  

The blind spot is a region on the retina where ganglion cells connect with the optic nerve, and the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eyeball. There are no receptors in this area so nothing can be translated into vision. That's why the blind spot is unable to see things.
