A feature of catabolic reactions is that they produce energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones.

Metabolism is the sum of chemical processes that occur in the body. Catabolic processes break down organic molecules and release energy, while anabolic processes build molecules. Energy is used to break down all molecules, including organic molecules, and release energy. Energy is also used to build molecules.
