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.

Answer:

A. Trapping energy from the sun in the earth's atmosphere

Explanation:

The gases in the atmosphere have detrimental role in the global climate. The greenhouse gases, such as the carbon dioxide and methane have the ability to trap heat into the atmosphere. the heat that is trapped is the one that is bounced back from the earth's surface and back into the space, but these gases manage to retain big portion of it. As more and more heat is trapped, the atmosphere gradually becomes warmer, resulting in global climate changes, and overall a warmer earth, thus having the effect of the greenhouse on the planet.
