In _____, Large Molecules are Broken Down and ATP Is

Question

In _____, large molecules are broken down and ATP is produced.
A)anabolism
B)catabolism
C)chemiosmosis
D)diffusion
E)active transport

Accepted Answer

Catabolism is the process in which large molecules are broken down into smaller ones, releasing energy which is used to produce ATP. Anabolism, on the other hand, is the process in which small molecules are combined to form larger ones, requiring energy input. Chemiosmosis, diffusion, and active transport are all processes involved in cellular transport and energy production, but they do not specifically involve the breakdown of large molecules and production of ATP.
