The remaining energy from glucose molecules is released by the process of oxidative phosphorylation, where oxygen is used to create a proton gradient across the inner membrane of the mitochondria. This gradient powers ATP synthase to produce ATP molecules, releasing the remaining energy as heat. Therefore, the correct answer is excess heat.

Well, it seems like the remaining energy from those glucose molecules decides to have a little party of its own. It gets released as excess heat, making our cellular respiration process a hot and happening affair. Let's just hope it doesn't get too hot under the collar! So, the answer is excess heat.

The remaining energy from glucose molecules is primarily released as excess heat during cellular respiration.

The remaining energy from glucose molecules during cellular respiration is released as excess heat. When glucose is broken down and converted into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), only about 40% of the energy stored in glucose is converted into ATP. The remaining 60% is released as heat, which is considered as waste energy. This excess heat is generated by the metabolic reactions occurring in cells during the process of cellular respiration.
