Here are some tasks you can do:

    Contents

    [edit] Image

    What is the relevance of the picture?

    It's a drawing of the original doctor to study metabolism. There may be something more relevant, like a fire or a stomach or a person in movement for example. Those would be good to add to or replace the current picture.

    [edit] Fast metabolism

    In layman's terms, when someone says "I have a fast metabolism", i.e. they can eat a lot and not put on weight, what does that mean?

    It means that energy ingested (food) is not stored in the body as fat, but used in other ways or excreted. There is no difference in the "speed" of metabolism, but rather the relative amount and utilisation of metabolic products Onco p53 09:45, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    Well, they might still metabolize things faster. Tyciol 19:37, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

    fast metabolism needs to be in the article

    [edit] Metabolism as design

    I know that metabolism is a biological term, but it is also used in defining post-modernism. I know it was a design strategy used in the 1960's, but is there any other information on it?

    I haven't actually heard of that... if you do have knowledge of it, it would be a great thing to research to add. Tyciol 19:37, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Citric acid cycle

    Anyone object if I move it to the Catabolism section? --Arcadian 20:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

    It seems like it has it's own article now, which is neat. Tyciol 19:37, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Metabolism during Pregnancy

    There is need to describe the metabolic changes that go on in the mother's body during pregnancy.

    Belongs to pregnancy.   Andreas   (T) 23:27, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Anabolism and catabolism

    These are already mentioned in the box at the bottom of the page, so no more links are necessary.  Andreas  (T) 03:01, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
