life processes
most of the energy is manifested as heat. this heat is usually dessipated through heat dispersion system of the organism.
ATP is the bodies energy currency.
heat movers Most energy is released in structures called mitochondria in the cytoplasm of cells. This is where aerobic respiration (respiration using oxygen) takes place. The products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water. However some energy can also be released in the cytoplasm by anaerobic respiration (which does not use oxygen). In mammals this type of respiration leads to the production of lactic acid.

Aerobic respirationThis type of respiration is the most common and produces more energy than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and glucose. It is a chemical process controlled by enzymes - they control the rate at which energy is released. Aerobic respiration is when food that we eat is broken down to release energy which is used by the body for important life processes. During exercise we need more oxygen so the rate of aerobic respiration increases.Aerobic respiration can be summarised as an equation:Glucose + Oxygen ---> Water + Carbon dioxide + EnergyC6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6H2O + 6 CO2 + 2900 kj
Glucose is the most common energy source in cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
The last two phases of cellular respiration, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, take place in the mitochondria. This is the organelle where most of the ATP (energy) from respiration is released.

During burning the energy is released by heat.
Glucose is the most common energy source in cellular respiration.
Chemical energy is stored in form of bonds
