chemical breakdown is also referred to as:
A
anabolic
B
catabolic
C
metabolic
D
lolabolic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anabolism requires energy to grow and build. Catabolism uses energy to break down. These metabolic processes work together in all living organisms to do things like produce energy and repair cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Catabolism is the break down of complex molecules. Catabolism is the breakdown of complex substances to their constituent parts (glucose, amino acids and fatty acids) which form substrates for metabolic pathways. Metabolism comprises two major parts; one is anabolism and the other catabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a catabolic reaction, molecules are broken down into smaller components, and energy is released. The breakdown of food in digestion is a catabolic reaction (see digestive system).

Detailed explanation-4: -The reactions governing the breakdown of food to obtain energy are called catabolic reactions. Conversely, anabolic reactions use the energy produced by catabolic reactions to synthesize larger molecules from smaller ones, such as when the body forms proteins by stringing together amino acids.
