The statement which is not correct about metabolism is D.
Younger people generally have a slower metabolism than adults. Metabolism is termed as a set of life-sustaining chemical transformation which is within the cells of organisms. Metabolism has three purposes.

1. Conversion of food to build blocks for acids, lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates.
2. Elimination of nitrogenous wastes.
3. Conversion of food to energy to be able to run cellular processes. Metabolism can also refer to all chemical reactions which occur in living organisms and they include digestion and transport of substances between or into different cells in a process called intermediate metabolism or intermediary metabolism.
Metabolism is being divided into two parts which include,
1. catabolism, this is breaking down of matter which is organic. For example, breaking down of matter which is organic.
2. Anabolism is the build of components of cells, for example, nucleic acids, and proteins.

The younger people generally have a slower metabolism than adults is not a true statement for metabolism.

Further Explanation:

Metabolism is a term given to a group of chemical reactions that are involved in maintaining the sustaining life of an organism. This process leads to growth and reproduction and allows living organisms to maintain their structures.

All the chemical reactions that occurs in an individual body either digestion or electron transport is a part of metabolism. They are divided into two categories; namely anabolism and catabolism.

Anabolism: the process involved in the synthesis of all compound required by the cell. It uses energy in the formation of components such as protein and nucleic acid. Catabolism: the process involved in the breaking down of compounds to obtain energy.

These reactions occur in a series of steps where one chemical is transformed into another chemical. Enzymes play an essential role in facilitating the reaction and serve as a catalyst.

1. variations in a population of moths allow for some of its members to be able to adapt to environmental changes. the better adapted of the moths will be able to survive the change and thus prevail as the “fittest” of the species. (a) describe three mechanisms in which variation can occur within a species population. (b) explain which mechanism or mechanisms would be responsible for the survival of a population of peppered moths better than white moths in an environment affected by industrial soot. justify your answer.
