The mitochondria releases energy from food molecules. This is where all things are broken down and turned into energy for the cell.
The cellular process of breaking down food to release energy is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source. The process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves several biochemical steps to extract energy from the food molecules.
Digestion breaks down food into energy.
Yes, energy from food is considered chemical energy. When we consume food, our body breaks down the chemical bonds in the food molecules to release energy that our cells can use for various biological processes.
Food needs to be combined with oxygen in a process called combustion to release the energy stored in it. This combustion process breaks down the food molecules, releasing energy that can be used by the body.
