Answer 1

The remaining energy from glucose molecules is released by the process of oxidative phosphorylation, where oxygen is used to create a proton gradient across the inner membrane of the mitochondria. This gradient powers ATP synthase to produce ATP molecules, releasing the remaining energy as heat. Therefore, the correct answer is excess heat.
