Question

a) how do organisms obtain food for energy? how does food in an organism’s body provide the energy use of body?
a) food provides 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.
c) based on the true statements.
d)

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

Explanation:

Based on the provided text:

1. "Molecules from food can provide energy to cells" is true, as the text states food supplies energy-rich molecules that cells use for energy.
2. "The process of breaking down food molecules can release energy" is true, since the text notes food molecules are broken down to release usable energy.
3. "Cells usually take in large food molecules" is false, the text specifies food supplies small energy-rich molecules that cells take in.
4. "Cells use energy to promote the organism's growth" is true, as the text says the energy powers cell processes allowing the organism to grow.

Answer:

• True: Molecules from food can provide energy to cells.
• True: The process of breaking down food molecules can release energy.
• False: Cells usually take in large food molecules.
• True: Cells use energy to promote the organism's growth.
