Digestion
The process of breaking down food to release energy is called "Digestion".
Cellular respiration is the specific cellular process that breaks down food to make energy. Catabolism is the general process that breaks molecules down to release energy.
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.
Breaking down food is usually called digestion, but this does not release its energy, it just makes the food molecules smaller and soluble so we can absorb them through the gut wall and into the bloodstream. The actual release of energy is respiration, which happens in the mitochondria of our cells.
Respiration is the breaking down of food molecules to release energy which enables us to do all of the life processes E.G: Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Excretion, Growth etc

cellular respiration
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.
Cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen.
Metabolism
