According to Augustinavi i t , humans can be classified in terms of types of information processing , or information metabolism . Psychological features such as attention, interests, memory and motivation are components of this theory of information metabolism. This theory of information metabolism is built upon an analogy to biological metabolism . According to this analogy, information that arrives as signals from outside an organism are available for information metabolism just as food is available for energy metabolism. The brain is the key information metabolism system. The brain and information metabolism deal with a two way flow of signals metabolism of input signals results in the production of output.

Glucose and other carbohydrates are part of a wide variety of metabolic pathways across species plants synthesize carbohydrates from atmospheric gases by photosynthesis storing the absorbed energy internally, often in the form of starch or lipid s. Plant components are eaten by animals and fungi , and used as fuel for cellular respiration . Oxidation of one gram of carbohydrate yields approximately 4 kcal of Chemical energy energy and from lipids about 9 kcal. Energy obtained from metabolism e.g. oxidation of glucose is usually stored temporarily within cells in the form of adenosine triphosphate ATP . Organisms capable of aerobic respiration metabolize glucose and oxygen to release energy with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Carbohydrates include complex and simple sugars. Simple sugars can be broken down directly in cells. Complex carbohydrates such as sucrose a disaccharide, or a molecule containing two simple sugars ... metabolism of glucose molecules to obtain adenosine triphosphate ATP and pyruvate Pyruvate from glycolysis ... by the intake of dietary carbohydrates, diet controls major aspects of metabolism via insulin.
