Plants, animals, and all other organisms need energy from food to live and grow. Select all the true statements. How do organisms get energy from food? Inside an organism's cells, food molecules are broken down and rearranged through chemical reactions. The reactions release chemical energy that the cells can use to power growth and other important cell processes. These processes allow the entire organism to live and grow.
All organisms get chemical energy from food. Some organisms get food by eating other organisms. Others, including most plants, make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Plant cells carry out photosynthesis to make food, which they use to get energy. Making this food does not create energy. Instead, photosynthesis transforms energy from the Sun into a form that can be used directly to power cell growth. Complete the sentence to describe the energy transformation that happens during photosynthesis.
