All organisms need food for energy. But how does an organism's body actually get energy out
of food?
Food supplies an organism with many small, energy-rich molecules. These molecules are
taken in by the organism's 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.
