Typically glycolysis. Glycolysis is a process by which sugars (specifically glucose) is broken down into ATP (energy). There are, however, many pathways to derive energy from differently moleculs (including lipids and carbohydrates).

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. It does this by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower energy barrier. The catalyst itself is not consumed in the reaction and can be reused multiple times.
