When an organism oxidizes food, some of the energy is lost. Which best explains this loss of energy?
A
Energy is converted to waste.
B
Energy is released as heat.
C
Energy is converted to chemical compounds.
D
Energy is stored for later use.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When an organism oxidizes food, some of the energy is lost. Which best explains this loss of energy? Energy is stored for later use.

Detailed explanation-2: -Finally, the high-energy electrons from NADH are passed along an electron-transport chain within the mitochondrial inner membrane, where the energy released by their transfer is used to drive a process that produces ATP and consumes molecular oxygen (O2).

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration is the process that leads to the complete oxidation of organic substances in the presence of oxygen and releases CO2, water, and a large amount of energy present in the substrate. It occurs in higher organisms. It takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
