Several enzymes in our body are responsible for breaking down ingested macromolecules to simple molecules. Our body cannot digest giant sized molecules so when it is broken down into smaller pieces, large amounts of energy is released which is used by our to perform various physiological activities. Enzymes are the special class of proteins that can speed up the rate of reaction.

The cellular process of breaking down foods to release energy?
Cellular respiration is the specific cellular process that breaks down food to make energy. Catabolism is the general process that breaks molecules down to release energy.
How does the respiratory system make energy?
It doesn't it helps in collecting the gas needed to release the energy in the foods that are eaten namely oxygen. it also disposes of used oxygen along with carbon as carbon dioxide
What is scattered throughout a cell and controls the release of energy from food?
The mitochondria is the power plant of the cell. It takes the energy from food, and converts it into ATP, which is then used more readily as energy by the cell. As such, it only produces the ATP as needed.
How do autotrophs obtain energy?
Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun, or chemicals in sunless environments, and Heterotrophs obtain energy by the foods they consume
How does plants get its foods?
They get the sun's energy for food the process is called photosynthesis.
What kind of potential energy is energy stored in foods and fuels?
This is chemical energy, since chemical reactions are required to release it
What does your body do to release the energy stored in foods?
yes.
Why are healthy foods required in snowboarding?
To have good energy and think good of course!
Why does plants need to release energy from their food?
In order to carry out vital activities, plants need to release energy from their foods.
Which foods have kilojoules?
All foods 'have' kilojoules. A kilojoule is a measure of the amount of energy they can release when we 'burn' them. (You may be more familiar with calories, which are a different sized unit for the same thing). More exactly, all foods release energy when we use them in respiration, and this energy can be measured in kilojoules.
What work to release energy from fat carbohydrates and proteins present in the foods you eat?
Vitamins
Why are energy foods called energy foods?
because they give you energy
The cellular process of breaking down foods to release energy?
Cellular respiration is the specific cellular process that breaks down food to make energy. Catabolism is the general process that breaks molecules down to release energy.
Why is it better to eat foods that release energy over a longer period?
you can stay full and energized for longer
The energy stored in foods and fuels is potential energy?
the energy stored in foods and fuels is blank potential energy?
Is it possible to eat without getting energy?
Although all foods are a source of energy for the human body, it is possible to consume a seemingly adequate amount of food without getting the required minimum of energy (calories).
What different ways does an organism release energy?
Kinetic energy: Through organisms moving Thermal energy: To keep a boy warm Chemical energy: Through digesting different foods/water/oxygen
