What cells of organisms release energy from food?
Every cell releases energy from food: it happens in an organelle called the mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), which is a structure inside the cell.
What do mitochondrea do?
Mitochondriaare the organelles that convert chemical energy, stored in food, into a compound that can be used by the cell. The mitochondria break down food and turn it into energy for the cell to use. Inside the mitochondria energy is stored and food is converted for use in a cell. The number of mitochondria in the cell can depend on the purpose of the cell. They are the "power plants" of cells. They produce energy. In multicellular organisms the mitochondria play an important role in apoptosis (death). They break down sugars to make energy. By analogy they would be the furnace compartment (where the fire burns) of a steam train. Added: The mitochondria are the source of the cell's ATP; the energy currency of the cell. Food eaten is oxidized and through final process of oxidative phosphorylation ATP is synthesized and the cell can do its work. Mitochondria improve the efficiency of turning food into energy (without them only fermentation or alternative chemical reactions are possible). Since the mitochondria generate energy for the cell, they are also called, the batteries of the cell, powering all cellular activities.
A cell organelle that breaks down food molecules and releases energy?
The mitochondria releases energy from food molecules. This is where all things are broken down and turned into energy for the cell.
What energy does food produce?
Food produces mechanical energy because mechanical energy is to do something and food gives you the energy to do something.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------No.Food is the energy from sunlight stored as chemical energy. When you eat food yo convert it into a different sort of chemical store (again chemical energy) before you can use it as mechanical energy. Even then most of the food is used keeping you warm and in this case the food is converted into heat rather than mechanical energy.
What organelle captures energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell?
The organelle that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for the cell is called a chloroplast.
Which of a cell's organelles energy stored in food?
Mitochrondria releases energy stored in food.
What cell's organelles release energy stored in food?
Mitochondria release the energy stored in food.
What organelles transform the energy stored in food to perform metabolic processes?
Which of a cell's organelles releases energy stored in food?
What cell function releases energy stored in food?
mitochondrion
What part of the cell releases energy stored in food?
Mitochondria
What is the Part of a cell that releases energy stored in food?
mitocondriu
A cell organelle that releases energy from stored food molecules?
Mitochondria
What part of a cell uses cellular rspiration to release energy stored in food?
Cell membrane
Which part of a cell releases energy stored in food?
A cell releases energy from food in the process of cellular respiration which is in the presence of oxygen, or fermentation which is in the absence of oxygen.
Which organelle converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are convenient for the cell to use?
Mitochondria are organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell's use.
What converts food to energy that the cell can use?
Mitochondria are organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell's use.
What energy is stored in foods?
The type of energy that is stored in food is called chemical potential energy.. This energy is stored until it is ready to be used.
