Food is broken down by enzymes, then absorbed by the small intestine where it enters the blood the blood baths the cells food thus enters the cell by phagocytosis (eating process of cell) after that the food is digested by lysozomal enzymes and broken in to very small molecules which by cellular respiration produce ATP
