FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. The energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water.

Detailed explanation-2: -When your body uses the nutrients in foods, a series of chemical reactions occur inside your cells. As a result, energy is released. Metabolism is the chemical process by which your body breaks down food to release this energy. Metabolism also involves the use of this energy for the growth and repair of body tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cellular process of releasing energy from food through a series of enzyme-controlled reactions is called respiration . Some of the energy released is used to produce ATP. Some of the energy released is lost as heat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Catabolic Reactions These reactions break down molecules into smaller units and release energy. An example of a catabolic reaction is the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration, which releases energy that cells need to carry out life processes.
