the breakdown of food molecules
Heterotrophs are organisms that consume food in order to obtain energy. These organisms get their energy by consuming organic molecules.
energy rich molecules
they are either stored or lost.
The most common energy carrier molecule of living organisms is adenosine triphosphate. It is found in all living cells. It captures energy that is obtained from the breakdown of food molecules.
The first stage of the breakdown of sugar molecules for energy is glycolysis. The sugar molecules are broken down by enzymes, releasing energy in the process.
This energy is derived from the chemical bond energy in food molecules, which thereby serve as fuel for cells. The first step is the enzymatic breakdown of food molecules in digestion, and the second step that converts glucose molecules is called glycolysis.

The ATP molecule is the one that releases energy by the breakdown of glucose molecules. This provides energy to most of the cell functions.
