Cellular respiration produces heat as a by product a by product and this heat dissipates into the atmosphere
Explanation:
The energy in the ecosystem are material properties that provides the ability for work to be done, and can be transformed into different forms or transferred from one organism to another, but it cannot be destroyed or created. The energy from the Sun, which is stored in molecules such as glucose, can be transformed into chemical energy, by cellular respiration, from which kinetic or energy, which is energy in a moving object, can be obtained
The energy conversion during cellular respiration produces a byproduct of heat, which is absorbed by air and vapors in the atmosphere and by contact with other non living materials thereby leading to flow of energy out of the ecosystem
