Solution

The correct option is B Sequence of enzyme-facilitated chemical reactions
A metabolic pathway is a sequence of chemical reactions in which product of one enzyme catalyzed reaction becomes substrate for the next enzyme catalyzed reactions. Modern studies have shown that metabolic pathways do not occur sequentially one after another but occur simultaneously in a cell. Thus, metabolism is not a sequence but a complex network of a multitude of biochemical reactions occurring at the same time in a cell.
So, the correct answer is option B.
