Question

which describes the process of cellular respiration?
a) anabolic pathway that builds molecules of stored energy
b) catabolic pathway that builds molecules of stored energy
c) anabolic pathway that breaks molecules into energy
d) catabolic pathway that breaks molecules into energy

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a catabolic process. It breaks down molecules (such as glucose) to release energy in the form of ATP. Anabolic pathways build molecules, while catabolic pathways break them down for energy.

Answer:

D) catabolic pathway that breaks molecules into energy
