Detailed explanation-1: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy molecule of the cell. During catabolic reactions, ATP is created and energy is stored until needed during anabolic reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Catabolism is the process of transforming chemical fuels such as glucose into ATP (energy). Anabolism, the process of cell differentiation and growth, requires energy (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -This is when the liver and kidneys produce glucose from noncarbohydrate sources. Catabolism is what happens when you digest food and the molecules break down in the body for use as energy. Large, complex molecules in the body are broken down into smaller, simple ones. An example of catabolism is glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Energy is typically required. Catabolic pathway: large molecules are broken down into small ones. Energy is typically released. Image credit: OpenStax Biology.

Detailed explanation-5: -Digestion is the breakdown of carbohydrates to yield an energy-rich compound called ATP. The production of ATP is achieved through the oxidation of glucose molecules. In oxidation, the electrons are stripped from a glucose molecule to reduce NAD+ and FAD.
