When organisms break the bonds of organic compounds, the organisms can . A. use the smaller molecules to plug the gaps in the cell membrane to slow diffusion B. use the energy obtained to digest molecules produced by respiration that uses oxygen C. obtain energy or reassemble the resulting materials to form different compounds D. excrete smaller amounts of solid waste materials during vigorous exercise

C. obtain energy or reassemble the resulting materials to form different compounds

Explanation:

Organisms can break down organic bonds (usually C-C bonds) to produce chemical energy, especially in the form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In living cells, ATP is considered to be the 'cell's energy currency' because this molecule provides energy for diverse cellular processes. Moreover, small organic molecules generated by chemical breakdown can also be reutilized in metabolic pathways in order to synthesize new (more complex) macromolecules. For example, fatty acids generated by the breakdown of longer lipidic macromolecules can be reutilized in different metabolic pathways to produce structural building blocks of the cell.
