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

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 process by which cells break down simple food molecules to release energy they contain?
respirstion
When cells break down food molecules energy is?
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.

What cells use lysosomes to break down food and old cells parts?
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.
What use's break down food from the digestive system?

What kind of cells make enzymes?
no cells do...... it your gall bladder and enzymes are in your intestines and they break down food
What two ways can cells break food down?
Krebs cycle and glycolysis
What are two ways cells can break down food?
Krebs cycle and glycolysis
Do the enzymes in pineapple papaya and citrus break down dead skin cells?
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.
What do most organisms use to break down food?
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.
Why do we break down food?
We break down food so we get things like water and nutriants into our blood!
