Question

fueling our cells: the energy factory
how cells get energy
just like a car needs fuel, your cells need energy to work. they get this energy from the food you eat!

1. digestion: food is broken down into tiny sugar molecules, like glucose.
2. cellular respiration: these sugar molecules travel to your cells. inside a special part of the cell called the mitochondria, the sugar is combined with oxygen to release energy.

this energy, called atp, powers everything the cell does - from moving to making new parts.
a simple cell model! energy is made in the mitochondria, the cells powerhouse.
my notes on cellular energy
food is broken down by digestion into simple.
the part of the cell known as the powerhouse is the...
the energy that powers cell functions is called...

Explanation:

1. The text mentions that "Food is broken down into tiny sugar molecules, like glucose" during digestion.
2. It also states that "Energy is made in the mitochondria, the cell's 'powerhouse'".
3. And it says "This energy, called ATP, powers everything the cell does".

Answer:

1. sugar molecules (like glucose)
2. mitochondria
3. ATP
