From Wikipedia
Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that happen in living organisms to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. Metabolism is usually divided into two categories. Catabolism breaks down organic matter, for example to harvest energy incellular respiration. Anabolism uses energy to construct components of cells such as proteins and nucleic acids.

Kearney, who states that "Drinking eight ounces of cold water can burn off an additional 9.25 calories as compared to room-temperature water."
