Teil des Metabolismus
A catabolic process is when your body breaks down large molecules like carbohydrates and fats into smaller pieces, releasing energy that gets stored in a molecule called ATP, which powers your cells. This matters because without catabolism, your body wouldn't be able to extract the energy from food that you need to function.

Article · Deutsch
Katabolismus (altgriechisch καταβολισμός katabolismós, ursprünglich ‚Niederlegung‘, ‚Kräfteverfall‘) wird der Abbau von Stoffwechselprodukten von komplexen zu einfachen Molekülen genannt. Der Katabolismus dient den Lebewesen zur Energiegewinnung, zur Lieferung von Baustoffen sowie zur Entgiftung. Mit dem Anabolismus ist er durch die Energiekopplung verbunden: Die hier gewonnene Energie dient dort zum Aufbau komplexer Moleküle. Anabolismus und Katabolismus sind Teile des Metabolismus (Stoffwechsel).
