Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When food is eaten by an organism, the majority of the energy available from the food is ____
A
passed along to the next organism in the food chain
B
put into the growth of tissues and organs for the organism
C
used to perform cell respiration
D
excreted from the organism as feces
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Through the production of ATP, the energy derived from the breakdown of sugars and fats is redistributed as packets of chemical energy in a form convenient for use elsewhere in the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Food is your body’s only supply of energy. However, this energy must be converted from the apple (or any other food you eat) into an energy source that your body can use. The process of getting energy from your food is called cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animals and other organisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates through the process of cellular respiration. Cells take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrates and release the energy.
