ATP is produced by almost all living things in organelles called mitochondria found in cells. ATD + P ---> ATP. The energy from food is found in the bonds between the phosphates (P). When the body needs energy the first P bond is broken: ATP minus P = ADP + P + energy.

The process of breaking down food to its building blocks is called digestion. We can then absorb the products and use them in our bodies.

The process of breaking down food in the body is called digestion. It begins in the mouth with chewing and mixing food with saliva, which contains enzymes to start breaking down carbohydrates. From there, the food travels through the esophagus to the stomach where it is further broken down by stomach acid and enzymes. Finally, in the small intestine, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream for the body to use.
Digestion is the process of breaking down food into usable materials, and is one function of the digestive system. The other function, absorption, makes these materials available to all cells in the body.
