Hydrogen atoms released during biological oxidation are trapped by N.A.D+ and F.A.D. molecules. When N.A.D.H. is oxidized, you get 3 ATP molecules converted from 3 ADP molecules. In this process about 40 % energy is trapped and rest released in the form of heat.

The metabolism of glucose releases energy through the stepwise oxidation of the molecule into more simple products. In the end the process produces carbon dioxide and renewed ATP.
