The process of breaking down food to create energy is called digestion. Digestion is necessary for other biological processes, such as movement and growth, to occur.
Not sure if that person's answer would answer your question but it sure as heck didn't answer mine... so I looked it up. The answer you might be looking for is binary fission. Not 100% sure though so don't be mad if i'm wrong. -_-

∙ 9y agoThe breaking down of food into energy starts with the digestion of food in the stomach. The starch and sugar turn into glucose and it is used up by the body as energy.Ê

Breaking down food for energy using oxygen is called?
cellular respiration
What is the process of breaking down food to release energy?
In the body, large food molecules (eg. carbohydrates, proteins) are broken down by enzymes to form simpler substances. for example, carbohydrase enzymes break carbohydrates down into simple sugars such as glucose. glucose is then used in the process of cellular respiration, within the mitochondria. this process releases energy.
What is the process by which chemical reactions occur that break down food molecules into energy to be used by the organism?
Breaking down of macromolecules into small particles is called a catabolic process. In any catabolic process there is a release of energy. Anabolic reaction combines small particles into a macro molecule and energy is conserved in such a process.
A cell organelle that breaks down food molecules and releases energy?
The mitochondria releases energy from food molecules. This is where all things are broken down and turned into energy for the cell.
This system is responsible for breaking down food so that nutrients may enter the blood stream?
"digestive"
What process of breaking down food to release energy?
The process of breaking down food to release energy is called "Digestion".
Breaking down food to release its energy?
Metabolism
Process of breaking down food for energy?
Metabolism
Digestion is the breaking down of what into what?
Digestion breaks down food into energy.
Which main body system is responsible for breaking down food its energy?
The digestive system has primary responsibility for breaking down food.
What is respriation in food?
The breaking down of glucose into usable energy.
Process of breaking down food to release its energy?
Digestion
What is the process of breaking down food to release its energy?
Digestion.
The process of breaking down food to release its energy is called?
The process of breaking down food so we can absorb it is called digestion. Releasing the energy by breaking it down further in our cells is respiration.
What is the process of breaking down food to release energy called?
Catabolism
Breaking down food for energy using oxygen is called?
