|
|
The energy is used to start the process of cellular respiration when more glucose is consumed by the organism.
|
|
|
The energy is used to convert leftover glucose into protein to be stored by the cells of the organism.
|
|
|
The energy is stored by the cells and released later when needed by the organim.
|
|
|
The energy is converted to thermal energy, which provides heat to the organism.

Detailed explanation-1: -In cellular respiration, approximately 38% of the energy contained in glucose is released for an organism to user in carrying out life processes. Which best explains what happens to the remaining 62% of hte energy contained in glucose? The energy is converted to thermal energy, which provides heat to the organism.
Detailed explanation-2: -During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Detailed explanation-3: –During the complete process of aerobic respiration the total number of ATP molecules produced are 38. This process occurs through the breakdown of one molecule of glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -This potential is then used to drive ATP synthase and produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group. Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidized glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).
Detailed explanation-5: -Oxidation of one molecule of glucose molecule during cellular respiration generates 38 ATP molecules-2 from glycolysis, 2 from Krebs cycle, and 34 from the electron transport system. Therefore, two glucose molecules can generate 76 ATP molecules.
