This one reason why we need to eat. The cells use a simple sugar called glucose to produce a macromolecule: ATP. It requires a large number of steps to get from a hamburger bun to glucose and ATP, but ATP holds the energy that the cell requires from moving muscles to running the nervous system.

What must a human body do to get energy from food?
What must the human body need to get energy from food is to use oxygen to produce ATP which will fuel the cells.
What is medium of transportation in human body?
If you're talking about transporting materials into and out of the cells, they would be diffusion, osmosis, neither of which requires the use of energy; and active transport, which does require energy.
How do food particles get to the cells and organs in your body for energy?
Your red blood cells carry the stored energy from your food to your cells for use. Food is not directly carried to your cells.
Do your body cells always use cellular respiration to break down glucose?
Not always, only when your body cells run out of energy.
Which characteristic of body cells require large amounts of energy?
Cellular Respiration. Your cells need energy in the form of glucose to produce ATP (usable energy)
What must a human body do to get energy from food?
What must the human body need to get energy from food is to use oxygen to produce ATP which will fuel the cells.
Is the human body an open energy system?
Yes, we take in energy in the form of food that we digest and use for our cells and we give off heat (and sound energy when we talk).
Function of oxygen in human body?
Cells use oxygen in the process of getting energy from sugars. The oxygen is used at the very end of that process - to pick up the electrons that have passed through the electron transport chain. That's when the most ATP are made, preparing energy for the cell to use for its activities.
What do cells use as energy?
They use food that your body has consumed.
What did they use energy drinks for?
To attain energy in the human body.
How does the human body use food?
For energy
What energy does the human body use?
stamina
What cells of the human body use phagocytes and why?
White Blood Cells yo.
What is medium of transportation in human body?
If you're talking about transporting materials into and out of the cells, they would be diffusion, osmosis, neither of which requires the use of energy; and active transport, which does require energy.
Why do the cells in your body never use nucleic acids as an energy source?
according to my calculations, the cells use carbohydrates as an energy source, and that is enough for the body nucleic acids are used for our genetic makeup and not for our energy usage
What can a human body use as energy sources?
food
What energy does the human body use while running?
We use potential energy that's converted to kinetic energy
