In cellular respiration, approximately 38% of the energy contained in glucose is released for an organism to use in carrying out life processes. Which best explains what happens to the remaining 62% of the energy contained in glucose?
A. The energy is converted to thermal energy, which provides heat to the organism.
OB. The energy is stored by the cells and released later when needed by the organism.
OC. The energy is used to convert leftover glucose into protein to be stored by the cells of the organism.
OD. The energy is used to start the process of cellular respiration when more glucose is consumed by the organism.
