Question

Which describes the process of cellular respiration?

Answer 1

"Catabolic pathway that breaks molecules into energy" is the process of cellular respiration.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The cellular respiration relates to the biochemical mapping through which cells liberate energy from the chemical bonds of food molecules and distribute that energy for life's basic processes.

Photosynthesis, which generates sugars from smaller molecules, is a mechanism to "build up" or anabolic. Conversely, cellular respiration breaks down sugar into smaller molecules and is a process of "breaking down" or catabolism.

Catabolic processes involve the degradation into simpler of complex molecules, releasing the chemical energy contained in those molecules bonds. Many catabolic pathways will absorb the energy used to generate ATP and control the all cell processes.
