Catabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller units and release energy.
Catabolism is a type of metabolic process occurring in living cells by which complex molecules are broken down to produce energy and reducing power. On balance, catabolic reactions are normally exothermic.

How humans (and other animals) do it.
catabolism Destructive metabolism; process in which complex molecules are reduced to simpler ones.
catadromous Refers to fishes that migrate from fresh water to the ocean to spawn.Compare anadromous.
It includes both anabolism, the synthesis of the biomolecules (e.g., protein synthesis, DNA replication, glucose synthesis in plants) and catabolism, the degradation of molecules usually for the production of energy (e.g., glycolysis, Krebs Cycle).
Catabolism is the series of chemical reactions that breakdown larger molecules. Energy is released this way, some of it can be utilized for anabolism. Products of catabolism can be reassembled by anabolic processes into new anabolic molecules.
Important in fatty acid biosynthesis and catabolism and has found widespread use as a covalent label for macromolecules which may then be detected by high affinity binding of labelled avidin or streptavidin. Essential growth factor for many cells.
