<h3>Answer</h3>

Approximately 40% of the energy stored in sugar molecules is converted into energy and the remaining 60% is wasted as heat energy.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Cellular respiration is the process which take place inside a living organism by which organic compounds, usually carbohydrates, are broken down releasing energy that is used to produce ATP molecules that supplies energy/power to cells.

<h3>Example of respiration</h3>

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —– enzymes & coenzymes ——> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Release of Energy (≤38 ATP) + Heat

So, 40% of the available energy of glucose is release as ATP and the remaining 60% is lost as heat and helps to generate your relatively high body temperature.

Mitochondria, the organelles involved in cellular respiration, can also generate chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROSs)

ch4aika [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

Mitochondria, the organelles involved in cellular respiration, can also generate chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROSs). ROSs can damage mitochondria. Damaged mitochondria generate more ROSs than healthy mitochondria. This is an example of a positive feedback mechanism

The reactive oxygen species that are given out by the mitochondria during cellular respiration are the major cause of aging. Though this has a lot of negative effects but this also has a small amount of positive effects such as the start of angiogenesis or cell proliferation.

What kind of fossil would a gastropoda shell must likely be?

DiKsa [7]

You didn't give any answer choices (i'm answering this through research and what i already know)

the first is fossilized dung, and that's not generally gastropod shells. A carbon film would be something thin, seeing as it's a film, and gastropods aren't that. A gastrolith is a stone swallowed by an animal to help with digestion, and that's also not a gastropod.

<span>Gastropod fossils may be molds, but usually aren't. Still, they can be. It's a better answer than; film or stomach stones.</span>
