When chemical, transport, or mechanical work is done by an organism, what happens to the heat generated?

a. It is captured to store energy as more ATP.
b. It is used to generate ADP from nucleotide precursors.
c. It is lost to the environment.
d. It is used to power yet more cellular work.

Respuesta :

Answer:

It is lost to the environment.

Explanation:

The energy currency of our body is ATP

The ATP undergoes hydrolysis to give ADP and inorganic phosphate with generation of energy.

The equation is

[tex]ATP--->ADP+iP[/tex]

The energy being generated is used for different work done by an organism.

The energy thus generated is finally lost to the environment.
