The cells themselves don't break down the food, it is a series of chemicals and enzymes (biological catalysts) in the digestive system. All food is broken down in the digestive system by a process called, funnily enough, digestion. Then it is absorbed into the blood stream through the villus in the small intestines
It is very complex process.
Food enters in cell in form of simple molecules (for example Glucose).
It uses various enzymes and chemicals to break these molecules in to energy and other by products.
The lysosomes break down the food.
Lysosomes break down the food particles also.
When cells break down food the energy is temporarily stored in the ATP molecules.
They use LYSOSOMES, those break down nutrients and MITOCHANDRIA, produce energy.
I will tell you that it is not the nucleus
A series of chemicals breaks down food. Lysosomes are cellular organelles that break down waste particles and even food particles.
cells use enzymes produced by the salivary amylase
The Lysosomes :)
When living cells break down food molecules energy is released and used to form ATP.

The break down of food will produce ATP which the body uses as a sort of currency to drive the cell. Such as muscle movement. A small amount is lost as heat.
to break down large food particles into simpler substances for acquiring ATP
Enzymes are substances that break down food.
When living cells break down food molecules energy is released and used to form ATP.

Lysosomes
Lysosomes are organelles found in animal cells that serve to break down food and also recycle other cell parts. They are not present in blood cells.

no cells do...... it your gall bladder and enzymes are in your intestines and they break down food
Krebs cycle and glycolysis

Yes, the enzymes in pineapple and papaya as well as citrus break down dead skin cells. They also break down food that is inside your body.
Organisms have cells. Inside the cells, there is a organelle called the lysosome. The lysosome breaks down and digests food. Or your digestive system can digest food.
We break down food so we get things like water and nutriants into our blood!
