It is broken down into small molecules by a complicated process called digestion. Digestive enzymes like saliva, gastric juice, intestinal juice, bile, pancreatic juice all play a part in digesting and breaking down the food to small molecules so that it can get absorbed by the small intestine
The organelle that breaks down food into molecules the cell can use is the lysosome. It contains enzymes that break down large molecules into smaller components that can be used by the cell for energy or building materials.

lysosomes
The mitochondria releases energy from food molecules. This is where all things are broken down and turned into energy for the cell.
Lysosomes are responsible for breaking down large food particles in a cell. They contain digestive enzymes that help break down these particles into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell for energy or building materials.

The process of cellular respiration breaks down food molecules to produce ATP. This process involves breaking down glucose to release energy which is used to form ATP through a series of biochemical reactions in the mitochondria of the cell.
