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.
cells usually take in large food molecules.
the process of breaking down food molecules can release energy.

Explanation:

• The text states that energy powers cell processes for growth.
• It mentions food supplies energy - rich molecules for cells.
• Also, it says molecules from food are broken down to release energy. The statement "Cells usually take in large food molecules" is false as the text says "small, energy - rich molecules" are taken in.

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.
