Solution

The breakdown of glycogen into glucose is an example of catabolism. Catabolism refers to the set of metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller units to release energy. In this case, glycogen, a large molecule, is broken down into smaller glucose molecules, releasing energy in the process.
