<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.

7. A nerve signal from the brain arrives at the intersection of the nerve and muscle cells and releases acetylcholine from the neuron. This triggers chemical changes in the muscle cell involving ions, including Ca2+. Calcium triggers the thick filaments, made of myosin, to attach to the thin filaments, made of actin, in the muscle cell, and the myosin pulls the actin toward the center of the muscle cell. ATP causes the release of the actin fibers, allowing the muscle to relax and the process to begin again.
