No, they can't. First, the food we eat need to digest to glucose by enzymes. And then the chemical energy of glucose will transfer to energy of ATP or GTP. Then cell will use these to power their various functions.

No, they cannot.  

The lipids, proteins, and polysaccharides, which forms the maximum of the food one consume must be dissociated down into smaller molecules before the cells can utilize them, either as a building block for other molecules or as a source of energy.  

Through the process of oxidation, energy is released in the form of ATP. The bonds among the atoms in any molecule accumulate energy and when these bonds are dissociated at the time of metabolism, the energy is taken and accumulated in a molecule known as ATP. This molecule further mediates the functions in the cell that require energy.

Ludmilka [50]
One reason ecosystem stability is important for life-forms because it creates a habitable environment for life-forms to live in. Such stability is important for an adjoining one because it allows the sphere of influence and boundaries to extend beyond its boundaries. This results in impacting changes to adjoining ecosystems. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

"Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. ... A food chain can usually sustain no more than six energy transfers before all the energy is used up."  By the way this is from the internet but from what I read it should be false mark brainllest if you want.
