<u>Answer</u>:

The term most correctly explains the cellular process of breaking the large molecules into smaller ones is catabolism

<u>Explanation</u>:

Catabolism is the part of the metabolism that is responsible for breaking the complex molecules into the smaller molecules. The another part of  metabolism is anabolism that builds the simple molecules into the more complex ones.

During the catabolism energy is released from the bonds of the large molecules being broken down. Typically, that energy is further stores in the bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The catabolism increases the concentration of ATP in the cell as it breaks down the nutrients and food.

How do cells release <br> Energy in the process of cellular respiration
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration
