What is the metabolic process that breaks down organic molecules to release energy to be used by cells? A. cellular respiration
B. light dependent cycle
C. light independent cycle
D. photosynthesis

A. Cellular Respiration

Explanation:

Cellular Respiration actually means the breaking up of organic molecules to release energy thus A is correct.

Light dependent cycle is the dependent of the sun to create chemicals not the breaking down of organic molecules thus B is incorrect

Light independent cycle is the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose not the breaking down of organic molecules thus C is incorrect

Photosynthesis is the opposite of Cellular respiration it makes the organic molecules to create energy or food thus D is incorrect

Thus A is the answer

Hope this helps

i think the answer is 95 hope this
