Actually, it takes energy to break down a molecule. But you can often get an even greater amount of energy when the fragments of the molecule that were broken down form new chemical bonds with other chemicals, especially oxygen.

What does the body do with the energy released during cellular respiration?
breaks down the food and releases oxygen and glucose.
Cells break down carbohydrates to absorb energy and form ATP?
No, they do it to release energy.
What Cells break down food in a chemical reaction that releases energy what process is this?
Metabolism
What parts of a cells breaks down food to release energy?
I think the mitochondrion
Which organelle breaks down food into energy?
Lysosomes, which are only found in animal cells.
An organelle that breaks down sugar and releases energy?
mitochondria
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 process breaks down food sugars and releases energy in a plant?
photosynthesis
How do plant cells capture and store energy?
The cells have tiny organelles called Chloroplasts that react to sunlight and create energy that combines with glucose and then becomes stored in the Large Central Vacuole to be used at a later time by the mitochondria which breaks down the compounds and releases the energy.
What changes glucose into energy?
The process of cellular respiration breaks down glucose and releases energy that is stored in molecules of ATP.
What is an organelle that breaks down food and turns it into energy for cells?
The mitochondria
What important process takes place inside the cell's mitochondria?
it breaks down food and releases energy
What does the body do with the energy released during cellular respiration?
breaks down the food and releases oxygen and glucose.
Cells break down carbohydrates to absorb energy and form ATP?
No, they do it to release energy.
Cells break down food in a chemical reaction that releases energy what process is this?
Metabolism
What is the process by which cells break down sugar molecules and releases energy?
I believe that is fermentation.
What Cells break down food in a chemical reaction that releases energy what process is this?
Metabolism
