what substance do cells need to get energy from food?
jordana defazio
When you become more active your cells need more oxygen and glucose, and when your body releases energy, glucose or other organic fuels in the presence of air is called aerobic respiration.
aerobic respiration is in the absence of air.

Cells use oxygen to get energy from food. The process is called cellular respiration.

What do you have to do to heat energy to freeze a substance?
You need to take heat energy out of the substance.
Do you need energy to do something?
Yes, of course! I'm not quiet sure what you mean by energy exactly, but in the human body your food provides you with energy. Without a daily intake of food you will run out of energy eventually.
Why is there a need for energy transform from one another?
There WILL be energy transformations, whether we need it or not. Living beings, however, depend on energy transformation to live. We get energy from our food, which we "use up" and eventually convert to heat energy.
When heating two substance with same heat the temperature raises on two substance are different why?
Each substance has a different heat capacity, which means they need different amounts of energy to change temperature by the same amount (for a given mass). If the same amount of energy is input, then the temperature difference will also be different.
Why do you need to store energy in your bodies?
We store energy in our bodies to use it. Every movement in our body, including simple things like raising our hands require energy. Without energy, we would not be able to do anything. In order to make it more 'convenient', without having to consume food or drinks when we need energy, we store energy in our bodies so that we can use it when we need it.
What do cells need?
Cells need energy/food to survive
A substance from digested food that all your cells need?
oxygen
It releases energy in food that cells need?
mitochondrion
What releases food and energy that cells need?
mitochondria clown
Can animal cells create food?
no, they get the energy they need from the mitochondria.
Why do plant cells need energy from the sun?
Plants need energy from the sun for food, they do this through photosynthesis which is the cells of the leaves (palisade cells, and inside those, chloroplasts), gathering the suns energy and changing it into glucose. the plant can then use this glucose for food. :)
When you consume food what cells does it go to?
food is used up by all the cells in the body as all the cells need energy to perform their functions
Why do cells need energy oxygen and food?
So they can survive, And reproduce
Why do sperm cells need a tail but egg cells do not?
Sperm cells need a tail to get food or energy while the egg isnt alive yet to need emergy......?
What are the three thing plant cells and animal cells need?
Water, Oxygen and organic food for energy
Do cells carry on respiration?
Yes. Because all cells need to release energy when food it broken down.
Why do Cells take in nutrients?
Cells require amino acids, vitamins, minerals, glucose, and fatty acids. Cells need glucose for energy, amino acids to make proteins, fatty acids to make the cell membrane and hormones, etc. Basically, the cells need these items to maintain itself in energy, regulation, and structure; just like how you need food to maintain your energy, regulate your body's needs, and reinforce it's structure.
