Briefly, energy is extracted from the food you eat by a complex multi-step chemical process called respiration. This reaction can be understood in simple terms as oxidizing or "burning" the food to create carbon dioxide and water. Your body uses the energy in this controlled burn of glucose to create molecules of ATP and NADH. The ATP can be used later as an energy source to fuel other cell reactions.

The wall of the small intestine is lined with microscopic projections called villi, which abosorb the nutrients in the chyme (broken down food). These nutrients enter the circulatory system, which delivers them to cells in all parts of the body that can then use the nutrients to create energy.

Is food you eat a source of energy?
for humans, food supplies the body with necessary molecules that make the body function. in the case of energy, humans get their glucose from consuming photosynthetic organisms such as plants. the body then breaks down the glucose in a process called cellular respiration. This process produces ATP, which is the molecule that animal cells use for energy.
How does energy gets from one sphere to another?
