It depends on the type of cell. It also depends on the type of energy. In animals, Mitochondria convert oxygen to food. Plants also use mitochondria, but they also have chloroplasts which use light energy and turn it into sugars, which plants use as food, energy, and growth material! Animals use it as just energy.

What is a Mitochondrias?

The mitochondria's job is to provide energy for cells. It produces ATP adenosine triphosphate which is used by the cells.


What converts the chemical energy in food into a form that is more easily used?

The process of cellular respiration converts the chemical energy in food into a form that is more easily used by cells, specifically in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process involves a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of cells, ultimately producing ATP as the main energy currency for cellular activities.

What happen if the digestive system was not function?

The digestive system is what converts regular food that we eat into useful form of nutrients which can be used by the rest of the body. Without these nutrients, the other organs would eventually shut down and die. The body does have the capability to convert energy from fat cells for use in the rest of the body. I'm not sure if this is a function of the digestive system, though.

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 physical system is stove?

A stove is a physical system that converts fuel (such as gas or electricity) into heat energy, which is used for cooking or heating food. It typically consists of burners or heating elements, controls for regulating temperature, and a cooking surface or oven for food preparation.

What changes energy into food in plant cells?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plant cells convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose (food). This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
