What else can I help you with?
Im a real powerhouse Thats plain to see you break down food to release energy?
The process you are referring to is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, food molecules are broken down in a series of biochemical reactions to release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy is essential for various cellular processes and activities within the body. The overall equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
What the part whose main job is to break down sugar to release energy that an animal cell can use.?
The part of the cell that breaks down sugar to release energy is the mitochondria. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell due to their role in producing energy through a process called cellular respiration. This process converts sugar molecules into usable energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Which structures break down food and energy?
Mitochondria break down food and release energy.
Can cells create energy?
Yes. Cells have an organelle called the mitochondria that use enzymes to break bonds (digest) within foods that create ATP, which a source of energy. The mitochondria is often referred to the "powerhouse" of the cell because it creates energy.
A feature of catabolic reactions is that they?
break down larger molecules into smaller ones to release energy.
What plants need to break down and release energy to move its food to other plants?
the plant needs oxygen to break down and release energy to move its food
What plant needs to break down and release energy to move it's food to other parts?
the plant needs oxygen to break down and release energy to move its food
When do reactions that release energy happen?
The release of energy (exothermic reaction) happens when the energy release by forming the products of the reaction is greater than the energy required to break the bonds of the reactants.
What do plants and animals have to break down to release the stored energy?
Well the lysosomes break down their food and the mitochondria releases stored energy.
Do plants break down food to release energy?
yes
What is catabolsim?
it is the break down of molecules in order to release energy
What is a cell part that contains so much energy that it is called the powerhouse of a cell?
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that provide the cell with energy. They take in the nutrients, break them down and create energy rich molecules for the cell to perform it's various functions.
