1. When glucose -> CO2 + H2O during aerobic respiration, more than 60% of its energy is released as:

 

a) oxygen b) carbon dioxide c) heat d) ATP e) NAD+

 

Correct answer: [hide]c) heat[/hide]

there is no maths involved.

 

heat is the only form of energy in the answers the rest are chemicals.

 

note to any physics nitpickers wandering by, i know heat is the transfer of energy but at the level this guy is at it is considered energy.
