Best Answer

Cells get energy from the food you eat. In particular, cells get energy from ATP which is product of cellular respiration in many organisms and photosynthesis in plants. When ATP is cleaved and leaves a phosphate (Pi) and ADP this reaction releases a great amount of energy, which can then be used by the cell.
