Most of a cell’s functions cannot use energy directly from the food we eat. Describe how the energy from food can be transferred to forms your cells can use.
The food is broken down into simpler substance and then in respiration these substances are used to produce energy compounds like ATP. By cellular respiration these energy compounds are produced in a cell.
yes exactly food is broken down by enzymes then absorbed by the small intestine where it enters the blood the blood baths the cells food thus enters the cell by phagocytosis (eating process of cell) after that the food is digested by lysozomal enzymes and broken in to very small molecules which by cellular respiration produce ATP
cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria so the food is still at cellular level
