Cellular respiration is a
A
anabolic reaction
B
catabolic reaction
C
endergonic reaction
D
synthesis reaction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Catabolic process is the set of metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions. Therefore, respiration is a catabolic process since it releases energy from simple sugar for carrying out life processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Respiration is also anabolic process as it provides many intermediates for biosynthesis of complex organic compounds like fat, proteins, etc.So we can say respiration is Amphibolic because it involves both catabolism and anabolism processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration may be a catabolic process during which glucose is catabolized to release usable energy for a cell. As altogether catabolic processes, respiration releases energy which may then be harnessed and employed by other reactions within the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Respiration involves the breakdown of complex food materials into simpler molecules. Hence it is a catabolic process. It is accompanied by the release of chemical energy (ATP), so it’s an exergonic process also.
