Solution

The catabolic processes are the reactions in which the large complex molecules are broken down to form the smaller molecules. The process is an exergonic process in which the energy is released due to the breaking of the bonds of the larger complex molecules. Digestion is the catabolic process in which the larger molecules are broken down into simpler ones releasing energy.
