Glucоse is brоken dоwn through cellulаr respirаtion, which involves а large number of chemical reactions. At the end of the cellular respiration process, a large number of ATP molecules are generated, yet not all of the possible energy that is contained in a molecule of glucose can be harnessed through these chemical reactions to generate ATP. In other words, during cellular respiration, not all of the energy that is contained in a molecule of glucose is converted into the energy stored in ATP. The remaining energy is_________.
