multiple choice question
in glucose metabolism, what happens to the energy that is not transferred to atp?
o it is destroyed.
o it is released as heat.
o it becomes mechanical energy.

Explanation:

In glucose metabolism, according to the laws of thermodynamics, energy is conserved and not destroyed. The energy not used to make ATP is dissipated as heat to maintain the body - temperature and for other thermal - related processes. It does not directly become mechanical energy in this context.

Answer:

It is released as heat.
