in cellular respiration, all of the potential energy can be accounted for, but only 33% of the potential energy in the bonds of glucose is converted ints the high energy bonds of ATP while the rest is lost as heat. This phenomenon exemplihes

After glucose is completely oxidized by the end of the citric acid cycle, and before any other step in cellular respiration happens, most of the chemical energy released has been lost as heat, captured in the form of the reduced electron carriers NADH and FADH2, and captured in the form of ATP.

During cellular respiration, most of the energy contained within the bonds of food molecules is captured in: a) the conversion of the kinetic energy of food to the potential energy of ATP. b) the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. c) digestion. d) glycolysis. e) None of the above. Energy is lost, not gained, during cellular respiration.
Why is it impossible to transfer 100% of energy from one molecule to another? Energy can neither be created nor destroyed during an energy transfer. Each energy transformation increases the entropy of the universe, some energy is lost as heat. Some ATP is always created during an energy transfer. It is possible to have a 100% efficient transfer of energy.
