Question

ATP stores some of the energy from glucose molecules during cellular respiration. How is the remaining energy from these glucose molecules released?

a. excess heat
b. excess water
c. excess carbon dioxide
d. excess light

Answer 1

The remaining energy from glucose molecules during cellular respiration is primarily released as:

**a. excess heat**

During cellular respiration, not all the energy from glucose is captured in the form of ATP; some is lost as heat, which helps to maintain body temperature in warm-blooded organisms.
