Question

plants, animals, and all other organisms need energy from food to live and grow.
how do organisms get energy from food? inside an organisms cells, food molecules are broken down and rearranged through chemical reactions. the reactions release chemical energy that the cells can use to power growth and other important cell processes. these processes allow the entire organism to live and grow.
select all the true statements.
animals need food, but plants dont.
molecules from food can provide energy.
chemical energy can be used for cell growth.

Explanation:

• The first statement is false. Plants need food (in the form of glucose made through photosynthesis) for energy, growth, and other life processes.
• The second statement is true. As per the text, food molecules are broken down to release energy.
• The third statement is true. The text mentions that the chemical energy released from food molecules can be used to power growth (including cell growth) and other important cell processes.

Answer:

• Molecules from food can provide energy.
• Chemical energy can be used for cell growth.
