Cells extract and capture the energy in food molecules all at once, then store it for later use B. Chemical bonds in food molecules are broken, releasing energy and allowing cells to use the energy to make ATP. C. Cells burn food molecules, releasing energy as heat that powers movement while keeping the body at the correct temperature. 2. A student prepared a test tube containing yeast, glucose, and water.
