Digestion
When a mineral breaks down and releases energy, it is known as a chemical reaction or a chemical process. This process may involve the release of heat, light, or other forms of energy as bonds are broken and new substances are formed.
Bacteria helps you break down food along with your stomach acid. the process of respiration allows you to release energy. Resperation is the process in which food is broken down and energy is released.
The process that releases energy to convert substances to simpler products is called catabolism. During catabolism, complex molecules are broken down into simpler molecules, releasing energy in the process which can be used by the cell for various metabolic functions.
The process that releases energy in the body is referred to as internal respiration and involves the ATP molecule. But food is not what takes part in this process, because the food needs to be digested, broken down, into glucose for the body to use it in releasing energy. That glucose can come from any of the three different food products we consume, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Glucose is a molecule that provides instant energy to cells in the body through the process of glycolysis. When glucose is broken down, it releases ATP, a molecule that cells use for energy.
The mitochondria releases energy from food molecules. This is where all things are broken down and turned into energy for the cell.
Actually, that is a biological answer and not quite accurate. The process that really releases the energy in the final phosphate bond of ATP is called phosphorilation. This is the process of bonding that phosphate to another molecule and that is the energy released. In the mitochondria ATP is synthesized by the process of oxidative phosphorilation from, ultimately, glucose being broken down.
The release of energy from glucose occurs through a process called cellular respiration. Glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the universal energy currency of cells. This process releases energy that is used for various cellular activities.
Carnivores gain energy by eating meat which contains protein. The protein is broken down inside the body and releases energy.

The bonds holding the molecule together are made of energy, when these bonds are broken, the energy holding the molecule together is released.
