Energy stored in cells enables cells to grow

Eukaryotic cells use three major processes to transform the energy held in the chemical bonds of food molecules into more readily usable forms — often energy-rich carrier molecules. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells. Hope this helps.

protein makes up the building blocks of organs, muscles, skin, hormones and pretty much everything that matters in your body.

some choices are:

peanut butter

seeds

eggs

yogurt

meats

fish

so pretty much meat, dairy, nuts, and grains.
