Question

all organisms need food for energy. but how does an organisms body actually get energy out of food? food supplies an organism with many small, energy - rich molecules. these molecules are taken in by the organisms cells. inside cells, the molecules from food are broken down to release energy that cells can use. this energy powers cell processes that allow the entire organism to grow and live. select all the true statements. cells use energy to promote the organisms growth. molecules from food can provide energy to cells. the process of breaking down food molecules can release energy. cells usually take in large food molecules.

Explanation:

• "Cells use energy to promote the organism's growth": As per the text, energy powers cell processes that allow the organism to grow.
• "Molecules from food can provide energy to cells": The text states that molecules from food are broken down to release energy that cells can use.
• "The process of breaking down food molecules can release energy": This is directly mentioned in the text.
• "Cells usually take in large food molecules": The text says food supplies an organism with many small, energy - rich molecules which are taken in by cells, so this statement is false.

Answer:

• "Cells use energy to promote the organism's growth"
• "Molecules from food can provide energy to cells"
• "The process of breaking down food molecules can release energy"
