First, it has to be able to make copies of itself because you're making new cells all the time and your cells have to have a copy of your DNA so it has to do what we call replication.

It also has to store all the information about your body as far as your body chemistry, your proteins, your amino acids, and all the things that make you.

One more very important job of DNA is that it's responsible for this process called protein synthesis which is the process in which cells make proteins. So every piece of your body from your fingernails, your eyeballs, and many other things are made up of proteins, proteins are the building blocks of you and the DNA determines the shape and function of your proteins. You think of DNA as a set of instructions on how to make the proteins that make you.

Where does the energy for human metabolism come from
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

From food

Explanation:

Food energy is a chemical energy used by humans through the process of cellular respiration. Food contain macromolecules such as lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, water, vitamins, and minerals that are necessary for the human metabolism and they are broken down and used by the series of metabolic steps (glycolysis, Krebs  cycle, electront transport chain and oxidative phosphorilation). Digested macromolecules should be used either as a source of energy or as building blocks for the cell.

At the end of catabolic processes within an organism food energy is transformed into energy usable by the cell-ATP.
