Molecules are formed by synthesis from elements; molecules are broken by chemical reactions.
A glycosidic bond
Molecules are simply atoms bonded together, so yes, they can be broken down into atoms. Such as a water molecule, which is made from two hydrgen and one oxygen, and can be broken down into those atoms.
Cells primarily use carbohydrates, especially glucose, which is broken down during cellular respiration, forming molecules of ATP, which are used by the cells in order to get energy to do work (cellular activities). Cells get energy from ATP molecules when they are broken down into ADP and P, which releases energy.

Most large insoluble molecules get broken down in the digestive system to small (simpler) soluble molecules.
It is converted to acetaldehyde and then further broken down in the liver.
Large carbohydrates are broken down by hydrolysis, or the addition of water molecules.
In glycolysis, one 6-carbon glucose molecule is converted into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules. If no oxygen is present then each of those two pyruvate molecules will be converted into 3-carbon lactate (lactic acid).
it is in mouth that the food we eat is broken in to small pieces which makes it easier to be digested (large molecules of food converted to small once)
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
Molecules are formed by synthesis from elements; molecules are broken by chemical reactions.
They are broken down. Cells can make certain molecules.
they are broken down. Cells can make certain molecules when needed for a certain function. -Novanet
When molecules are broken down the energy is released from the outer electron shells of the various elements involved.
During cellular respiration the sugars formed during photosynthesis are broken into simpler molecules. These simpler molecules are carbon dioxide and water.
