Simple molecules are further broken down in cells in a process called _________,during which energy stored in their chemical bonds is used to power the production of ATP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process being described in the statement is cellular respiration, which involves the breakdown of simple molecules (such as glucose) to produce ATP. Photosynthesis is not relevant as it involves the production of glucose from simple molecules using energy from sunlight. Anabolism refers to the building up of more complex molecules from simpler ones and does not involve ATP production. Muscle contraction is a result of the use of ATP, but it is not the process being described in the statement.
