The location of energy release from food molecules is in the mitochondria of the cell. The process in which energy is released from food molecules is known as cellular respiration.

The molecules that make up food contain energy. how does the human body get energy from the food molecules?
by breaking chemical bonds in the molecules

The bonds that hold glucose and other food molecules together contain what kinds of energy?
potential energy
The food we eat has stored?
The food we eat has stored chemical energy from the chemical bonds in the molecules.
What happens to food during photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis uses light energy along with carbon dioxide to make molecules, or food energy. This food energy is stored in chemical bonds.
What part of a cell produces energy for plant and animal cells?
Plants use light energy to produce food molecules during photosynthesis, and obtain cellular energy from the bonds of these food molecules during cellular respiration.
How the human body obtains energy from food?
The process of getting energy from food molecules occurs in the mitochondria of cells (human or otherwise). Energy is stored within the numerous bonds of each food molecule. By adding activation energy and separating the atoms from each other, a chemical process starts and the energy is released and immediately used or stored as fat.
Chemical energy is contained in what?
chemical energy is the energy stored in a matter such as food and fuel

What happends to food energy during photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis uses light energy along with carbon dioxide to make molecules, or food energy. This food energy is stored in chemical bonds.
Is the energy to power a computer called Chemical energy?
No, the energy that powers a computer is electrical energy. Chemical energy is energy that is stored in the bonds of molecules. Batteries, candles, matches and food are some things that have chemical energy. When the molecules/compounds' bonds are broken, the chemical energy is released. In a candle, this would cause a small fire. Electrical energy is the movement of electrons. The electrons move quickly inside the wire, & power the computer as electricity.
Where the energy in food is stored untill it is released?
It depends what you mean. Food is made up of many kinds of molecules- fats, proteins, carbohydrates. The energy of these molecules is stored in their bonds. C-C bonds, C-O bonds O-H bonds and C-H bonds. When the food enters your body these macromolecules (proteins etc..) are broken down by specific enzymes and form metabolites. (bonds are broken release energy and new bonds made require energy). Different metabolites feed into a catabolic pathway (some enter at glycolysis, krebs cycle, B oxidation pathway) and are oxidised to release energy. Energy in the body can then be stored in the universal energy storage molecule called ATP but some energy is released as heat. Conversely, the macromolecules can be resynthesised and stored ready to be broken down when required. Fats are stored in specific fat cells around the body.
