The remaining energy from glucose molecules during cellular respiration is primarily released as excess heat. This energy is not completely converted into ATP and is typically lost as heat, which helps maintain body temperature in warm-blooded organisms.

The correct difference between a consumer and a producer is:
- Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms. Producers are organisms that make their own food using the energy from the sun.
This distinction highlights the roles of different organisms in an ecosystem, where producers (like plants) convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, and consumers (like animals) obtain energy by consuming other organisms.
