Cells aquire food energy through a process called cellular respiration. This can be aerobic (with Oxygen as the final electron acceptor) or anaerobic (with some other organic molecule like pyruvate as the final electron acceptor). Aerobic respiration can be further broken down into the steps of 1. Glycolysis 2. Pyruvate Oxidation 3. Krebs Cycle 4. Electron Transport Chain It can also take place as photosynthesis but that is a slightly different mechanism Anaerobic Respiration can take place where there is no oxygen available(such as insidee muscles). This is called fermentation(yes the same kind we have to thank for alcohol...God bless anaerobic bacteria).
What else can I help you with?
How do cells acquire energy?
By the process of respiration. In this process, glucose is oxidised to carbon dioxide and water (aerobic) and ATP is produced. (ATP is the energy currency of cells)
What cells of organisms release energy from food?
Every cell releases energy from food: it happens in an organelle called the mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), which is a structure inside the cell.
The process by which a cell captures the energy in sunlight?
Plant cells use chloroplast- animals don't capture energy.
How do cells take in nutrients and convert it into energy?
the mithocondria turns nutrients/food energy
How do living organisms in humans acquire energy from organic molecules?
Most of them do it exactly the same your own cells do it - oxidizing hydrogen in mitochondria. A few use fermentation (sugar to lactic acid).
How do whale sharks acquire energy?
to aqcuire energy they eat food
How can a cell acquire that mineral to get inside a cell?
Animal cells are able to absorb water and nutrients because of their semi-permeable membrane. The digestive process releases nutrients from food into the bloodstream, which are then synthesized by cells for energy.
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).
How do cells acquire energy?
By the process of respiration. In this process, glucose is oxidised to carbon dioxide and water (aerobic) and ATP is produced. (ATP is the energy currency of cells)
Do humans have natural energy or is it acquired through food?
Energy in humans is acquired through food. The body breaks down the nutrients in food to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is then used by cells for various functions. While humans do have natural processes that generate energy within the body, the primary source of energy comes from the food we consume.
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 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 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.
How does vascular cambium get energy?
Vascular cambium cells get energy from food supplied by ploem cells
