What is scattered throughout a cell and controls the release of energy from food?
Shadowheart
The mitochondria is the power plant of the cell. It takes the energy from food, and converts it into ATP, which is then used more readily as energy by the cell. As such, it only produces the ATP as needed.

What are scattered throughout the cell and control release of energy from food to form ATP?
Mitochondria.
What part of the cell is a major site of ATP synthesis and is scattered throughout the cell?
In a cell that is respiring aerobically (i.e. using oxygen), the mitochondria are the site of most ATP production.They are scattered through the cytoplasm, but tend to concentrate where the cell requires energy.
What most directly controls the rate at which food is broken down to release energy A enzymes B hormones C nucleic acids D vitamins?
The factor that most directly controls the rate at which food is broken down to release energy between (A) enzymes, (B) hormones, (C) nucleic acids or (D) vitamins is (A) enzymes.
Does mitochondria release or store energy?
It release energy. It releases using Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2).Mitochondria release energy in glucose. Then it stores this energy in ATP
Which process release energy?
The process of cellular respiration is responsible for releasing energy. In addition, ATP is responsible for storing additional released energy.

Mitochondria.
What cell structure controls the release of energy from food and forms ATP?
genetics
What controls the rate that food is turned into energy.?
The thyroid gland controls the rate that food is turned into energy. The thyroid gland releases thyroxin and if too much is release a person will lose weight.
