If the efficiency of a gasoline engine is 25%, what happens to the missing 75% of the energy in the fuel?

The 75% energy which does not do any useful work gets dissipated as thermal energy in gasoline engines.

Explanation:

The efficiency of any engine like gasoline engine is the ratio of work done in contrast to heat or energy provided.

Gasoline engines are internal combustion engine. The thermal efficiency is calculated of these engines.

work done or efficiency=

         or heat absorbed is divided by heat used in doing work

the friction and in other forms heat gets lost.

In gasoline engine about 65 to 75 % heat gets emitted without any useful work done. The heat gets lost in friction, air turbulence, noise and work input to turn on the engine. After the dissipation of heat in it only 25% is used up by vehicle having gasoline engines.

there are mainly three domains in biological classification namely; archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

archaea includes all the prokaryotic cells which are characterized by their lipid membranes. they have branched hydrocarbon which is attached to glycerol through an ether linkage.

bacteria includes all the prokaryotic cells, the cell membrane of which are made up of the unbranched fatty acid chain. in addition, they are attached to glycerol through an ester bond.

eukarya includes all the eukaryotic cells, that is, the cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound cell organelles.

they can be autotrophic as well as heterotrophic, unicellular as well as multicellular

they include kingdoms like protista, plantae, animalia, fungi et cetera.
