The metabolic activity called catabolism--this is often achieved by glycolysis and cellular respiration (or fermentation, in absence of oxygen). Break down fats, sugars, and proteins, to extract the energy from their energy rich bonds

Which process breaks down food molecules and releases energy?

The process that breaks down food molecules and releases energy is called cellular respiration. This process occurs in the cells of organisms and produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell, through the breakdown of glucose and other molecules in the presence of oxygen.

What happens when a cell releases energy from food without using oxygen?

When a cell releases energy from food without using oxygen, it undergoes a process called anaerobic respiration, specifically fermentation. This process results in a much lower yield of energy compared to aerobic respiration. The byproducts of fermentation can include lactic acid or alcohol, depending on the organism carrying out the process.
