the digestive system turns the food you eat into nutrient that are suitable for use by the body's cells
digestive system
Enzymes are chemicals that speed up the breakdown of food into usable forms in our bodies. They help to break down complex molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into simpler molecules that our cells can absorb and use for energy and other essential functions.
I think you are referring to the mitochondria. They release energy stored in food.
Digestion is the process of breaking down food into usable materials, and is one function of the digestive system. The other function, absorption, makes these materials available to all cells in the body.

digestive system
Ways that the body changes food to a form that is usable by all its cells is floor 8 which is the digestive system. Ways the body gets rid of its waste products is floor 4 which is the urinary or excretory system.

The organelles in eukaryotic (plant &animal) cells that converts food into usable energy are the Mitochondrion (plural of Mitochondria)
absorption
The digestive system processes food into usable and unusable materials by chemical digestion. The usable materials are transported via the cells throughout the body while the unusable materials are sent to the large intestine where it waits to be disposed of.
I think you are referring to the mitochondria. They release energy stored in food.
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.
While plant cells can use photosynthesis to produce their own food, they still require cellular respiration to convert that food into the more usable currency ATP.

Food is converted into usable energy through a process called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose from food is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells.
