Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
chemical breakdown is also referred to as:
A
anabolic
B
catabolic
C
metabolic
D
lolabolic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The bottom line. 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-3: -Such chemical reactions, in which complex molecules are broken down to simpler components, are classified as catabolic reactions. Taken as a group of reactions within a cell or even an organism, they can be referred to as the cell’s or organism’s anabolism or catabolism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Catabolism is a series of biochemical reactions that break down large, complex molecules into smaller, simple ones. Catabolic reactions often use hydrolysis to break the chemical bonds within larger molecules, which results in a release of energy.
