Complete set (from \(\pu{50}\) to \(\pu{1000}\) metabolites) of organic or inorganic compounds of low relative molecular mass, present in the cell or organism and which participate in the metabolic reactions required for growth, maintenance, and normal functioning.
Note: The metabolome forms a large network of metabolic reactions where outputs from one enzymatic chemical reaction are inputs to other chemical reactions.
