Food provides cells with energy in the form of glucose, which is broken down through a series of metabolic processes to produce ATP, the main energy currency of cells. The ATP generated is used by cells to power essential functions and activities.

What cell caputres energy and producess food?
All cells "capture" energy, and are able to convert that energy into food. Plant Cells (Prokaryotes) capture the energy emitted from the sun and convert that into energy so they can survive (Photosynthesis).
Why do cells needs food?
as an energy source like we do
Places where cells convert energy into food?
Cells convert energy into food for the organism in structures called mitochondria. Mitochondria are found in most cells and are known as the powerhouses of the cell, as they produce the energy currency of the cell called ATP through the process of cellular respiration.
Which organelle turns food into the type of energy that cells can use?
Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for converting food molecules into ATP, the energy currency of cells through a process called cellular respiration. This energy is used by the cell to power various functions and processes.
What transforms energy in food molecules to usable energy?
The process that transforms energy in food molecules to usable energy is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose molecules in food are broken down in cells to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the form of energy that cells can readily use to power their functions.
How does food give people energy?
Food is processed into forms that cells use to power the muscles.
What does an ocelot do to get energy?
It means to get all sorts of food bcause food gives you energy. that includs carbohydrates because thoose give your cells enery.
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 do cells get the energy to do their daily activities?
Plant cells synthesize their food by photosynthesis. Animal cells can not do like plants, so it needs to be taken.Digestion of food molecules will help the cells to make energy(ATP).
Is the human body an open energy system?
Yes, we take in energy in the form of food that we digest and use for our cells and we give off heat (and sound energy when we talk).
What do cells need?
Cells need energy/food to survive
What release energy stored in food?
The mitochondria releases energy stored in food which is in cells.
What support does the digestive system provide the cells?
Cells get a lot of energy from food. But the food you eat is not needed by cells.
What support does digestive system provide for cells?
Cells get a lot of energy from food. But the food you eat is not needed by cells.
What support does the digestive system provide for cells?
Cells get a lot of energy from food. But the food you eat is not needed by cells.
How does vascular cambium get energy?
Vascular cambium cells get energy from food supplied by ploem cells
Which of cells organelles releases energy stored in food?
Mitochrondria releases energy stored in food.
