Metabolism
Digestion.
The process of breaking down food so we can absorb it is called digestion. Releasing the energy by breaking it down further in our cells is respiration.
Catabolism
The process of breaking down food to release energy is called cellular respiration. It involves a series of biochemical reactions that occur in cells, where energy stored in food molecules is converted into a form of energy that the cell can use, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process typically involves the stages of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
The process of breaking down food to its building blocks is called digestion. We can then absorb the products and use them in our bodies.
Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.cellular respiration- process that release energy by breaking down glucose and food molecule in the presence of oxygen.

Respiration
The process you are referring to is digestion. Digestion involves breaking down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body to provide energy and build and repair tissues. This process occurs in the digestive system, where enzymes and acids play a key role in breaking down food into its component parts.
