Catabolic processes involve degradation of complex molecules into simpler molecules with the net release of chemical energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Catabolic processes break down complex molecules into simpler ones, resulting in the release of energy, typically as ATP. This contrasts with anabolic processes, which involve the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones requiring an energy input.
