Question

Growth, development and function of the living body is due to

• A. Order
• B. Homeostasis
• C. Metabolism
• D. Adaptation

Answer 1

The correct option is C Metabolism

Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in an organism. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes; the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates; and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes. These enzyme catalyst reactions allow the organism to grow and to reproduce, maintain their structures and respond to their environment.

So the correct option is "Metabolism'.
