Molecules are groups of bonded atoms. Energy is required to form these atoms, and since, according to the First Law of Thermodynamics, energy is never created or destroyed, energy is therefore released when these bonds are broken. 

Now that we know this, we can infer that carbon-based molecules provide energy to cells when the bonds of the atoms that form the molecule are broken, and release energy.

The explanation for how carbon based molecules provide energy to cells is;

The energy is produced when the carbon based molecules have been broken down by a series of chemical reactions and the molecule ATP transfers the energy to to the cells.

  • Carbon based molecules that provide energy to cells are mainly in carbohydrates and they possess bonds in between the molecules.

  • Now, all carbon based molecules that give energy are usually in foods and they store chemical energy in the bonds they possess.

However, this chemical energy is only able to be put into use after the individual molecules of the carbon based molecules have been broken down by going through a series of chemical reactions.

Now, although energy comes from food by the break down of a series of chemical reactions, it does not get transferred directly to cells because this energy is carried to the cells by a molecule called ATP( adenosine triphosphate).

  • Thus, in conclusion we can say that the energy is produced when the carbon based molecules have been broken down by a series of chemical reactions and the molecule ATP transfers the energy to to the cells.
