Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process that, in the presence of oxygen (O2), breaks down food molecules to produce energy for the cell-is a catabolic process.
A
Cellular respiration
B
Catabolic reaction
C
Cellular metabolism
D
Neomycin biosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because oxygen is required for cellular respiration, it is an aerobic process. Cellular respiration occurs in the cells of all living things, both autotrophs and heterotrophs. All of them catabolize glucose to form ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -cellular respiration, the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of breakdown of food in the cell with the release of energy is called cellular respiration. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a catabolic process during which glucose is broken down to release usable energy for a cell. As in all catabolic processes, cellular respiration releases energy which can then be harnessed and used by other reactions in the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
