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.
the process of breaking down food molecules can release
energy.
cells usually take in large food molecules.
molecules from food can provide energy to cells.
cells use energy to promote the organisms growth.

Explanation:

• The first statement matches the text: breaking down food molecules releases energy.
• The second statement is false: the text says food supplies small energy-rich molecules taken in by cells, not large ones.
• The third statement is true: food molecules are broken down to release energy cells use.
• The fourth statement is true: released energy powers cell processes for organism growth.

Answer:

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