They release energy by breaking down complex molecules to simpler. Ex: cellular respiration sugar glucose and other organic fuels are broken down in the presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide and water.

Energy released from the downhill reactions of catabolic pathways can be stored and then used to drive the uphill reactions of anabolic pathways. Define and give examples of the following types of . Kinetic energy: perform work by imparting motion to other matter. Ex: the contraction of leg muscles pushes bicycle pedals moves the other balls.
