C
transport of materials throughout an organism
D
changing stored chemical energy in food to a usabel form
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Cellular respiration is best described as E) changing of stored chemical energy in food molecules to a form usable by organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -In your body, glucose is the form of energy that is carried in your blood and taken up by each of your trillions of cells. Cells do cellular respiration to extract energy from the bonds of glucose and other food molecules. Cells can store the extracted energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-3: -In cellular respiration, ATP is synthesized by the breaking down of organic molecules through a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP.
