Even enzymes are responsible for breaking down the macromolecules for eg. Amylases, proteases
The lysosome breaks down macronutrients into smaller molecules for the cell. Lysosomes are also sometimes called lysozymes.
Enzymes.
Monomers.
The term that identifies a reaction that breaks apart macromolecules is "hydrolysis." In hydrolysis, water molecules are used to break the bonds holding macromolecules together, resulting in the formation of smaller molecules or monomers.
Chemical bonds. That is they are sharing outer shell electrons.
A very large organic compound made up of chains of smaller molecules is a polymer.
the cytoplasm helps the organelles function by breaking down glucose into smaller molecules. From there, the smaller molecules of glucose go into the mitochondria and mix with oxygen to form CO2, Water, and large amounts of energy

Digestion is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules. The digested molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported to the different parts of the body.
Macromolecules.
Macromolecules are giant molecules that are formed when thousands of smaller units of identical molecules are joined together. This process of joining together smaller identical units into a large macromolecules (polymer) is called polymerisation.
Organelles are of a level of organization smaller than a cell. Molecules are smaller than organelles.
Monomers.
Catabolism is the breakdown of larger, more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones.Energy is released and some is trapped and made available for work.
