Most energy is produced by the breaking and reforming of molecular bonds. A car's combustion reaction in which fuel is converted into energy, co2 and water is a good example of this. Energy is rarely produced on the atomic level, such as a nuclear power plant or an atom bomb. Energy is produced this way through Einstein's E=mc^2. In an atomic reaction the mass of the products is slightly less then the mass of the reactants. Plug the change in mass into Einstein's equation and you get a lot of energy. To recap, most energy is made on the molecular level with endothermic (reactions which absorb energy) and exothermic reactions (reactions which emit energy), however a small amount takes place on the atomic level.

Where is most of the energy produced in cellular respiration?

Most of the energy produced in cellular respiration is generated in the process of oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs in the mitochondria. This is where the majority of ATP, the cell's main energy currency, is produced through the electron transport chain.

What type of energy is almost always produced when energy changes forms?

The most common type of energy produced when energy changes forms is heat energy. This is due to the inherent inefficiencies in most energy transformation processes, which result in some of the initial energy being converted into heat.
