Energy stored in organic molecules is released by cell respiration to produce ATP for metabolic reactions, generating heat as a byproduct.
Energy stored in organic molecules like sugars and lipids is released through cell respiration to produce ATP, which fuels metabolic reactions and generates heat as a byproduct.
