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: -Exergonic reactions in organisms are called catabolic reactions. These reactions break down molecules into smaller units and release energy. An example of a catabolic reaction is the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration, which releases energy that cells need to carry out life processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is the process of extracting energy in the form of ATP from the glucose in the food you eat. Oxygen and glucose are both reactants of cellular respiration. When one molecule of glucose is broken down, it can be converted to a net total of 36 or 38 molecules of ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Catabolic reactions involve breaking down larger and complex molecules into smaller and simpler molecules releasing energy in the process. Anabolic reactions, on the other hand, involves building complex/macromolecules from simple and smaller molecules.
