Question 4 of 25
When you eat a hamburger, some of the energy in the food is converted to ATP that your cells can use to do all kinds of work, some of the energy is stored for later use, and some of the energy is dissipated as heat. In other words, you can only make use of a portion of the energy available in the hamburger because some is always lost as heat.
This is a consequence of the:
central dogma.
cell theory.
