There are a few things that give you energy, but the most common are carbohydrates (sugars and starches primarily). Your body uses carbs, along with oxygen and converts them into ATP, CO2 and H2O. Then you discard the CO2 and H2O (in the forms of gases)
and use the ATP as energy.

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.
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 are the products when water is broken down by electrolysis?
The two products when water is broken down by electrolysis is hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. The energy source in photosynthesis is light energy.
What does atp supply that fuels cell activities?
ATP stands for adenosine Di-phosphate. When cells need energy,then ATP can be broken down using water to release energy. It contain tri phosphate (three phosphate groups )
ATP can be broken down into?
ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. When the body breaks up ATP it simply breaks off a single phosphate group creating Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and energy.
What in broken down in the body to release energy?
sugarsugarsugar
Why must be food be broken down in your body?
Fat reserves in the body can be mobilized and broken down to release energy.
What substance is broken down in the body to release energy?
Oxygen
When food is broken down where is the energy stored?
When food is broken down the stored energy is in your cells. When the energy is needed, the cells release the energy.
How are fat broken down?
Fats are broken down by the body into glycerol and fatty acids. The fatty acids are then broken down to glucose to provide the body with energy.
What does ATP does to our body?
It is energy for our body's cells, that is broken down by the cells when energy is needed.
How does cell energy provide your body with energy?
breaks down amino acids and glucose Mitochondria use adenosine triphosphate to provide cellular energy, these molecules release bursts of energy as they are broken down.
What happens when food is broken down?
You get energy into your body.
What does cellular respiration break down in order to release energy?
glucose is broken down in glycolysis during respiration to release energy
What converts energy to glucose?
Glucose is broken down to release energy during respiration.
Are muscles or fats easily broken down to release energy?
the energy sources are, in order of use; sugars, fats and muscles. Easily broken down, yes.
Where in the cell are sugars broken down to release energy?
