The process by which organic molecules are broken down to release energy
A
Photosynthesis
B
Metabolism
C
Cellular Respiration
D
Glycolisis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body. There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The organic compound that is broken down to get energy is carbohydrate. Polymer carbohydrates are first digested to their monomer forms (for example glucose), which then undergoes cellular respiration to generate ATP energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration can be defined generally as the process by which chemical energy is released during the oxidation of organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The metabolic process whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules is cellular respiration. In the process of cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break apart glucose molecules to release stored energy. This energy is used to make energy storage molecules known as ATP.
