Cells need energy/food to survive
When you become more active your cells need more oxygen and glucose, and when your body releases energy, glucose or other organic fuels in the presence of air is called aerobic respiration. aerobic respiration is in the absence of air.
no, they get the energy they need from the mitochondria.
Animals need to breathe to get oxygen. Oxygen burns the food within their bodies and releases energy for various activities.
Plants need energy from the sun for food, they do this through photosynthesis which is the cells of the leaves (palisade cells, and inside those, chloroplasts), gathering the suns energy and changing it into glucose. the plant can then use this glucose for food. :)
food is used up by all the cells in the body as all the cells need energy to perform their functions
When sugar is broken down during digestion - it releases energy - which fuels our muscles.
Food serves as a source of raw materials from which the cells of the body can synthesize new molecules, provides living things with the chemical building blocks they need to grow and reproduce, and as a source of energy. Oxygen is used to break down glucose in the process of cellular respiration. Food and oxygen is how cells get their energy. When the nutrients combine with oxygen, energy is released. The process is similar to burning or how a car engine gets its energy. There is a chemical reaction which releases energy.
as an energy source like we do
Yes. Because all cells need to release energy when food it broken down.
While food passes through your digestive system, the body soaks up the nutrients it needs from the food. Those nutrients are then carried throughout the blood by cells to organs that need them.
