The correct answer is: During oxidation within a cell all the energy contained in respiratory substrate is released free into the cell.
During oxidation within a cell, all the energy contained in the respiratory substrate is not released free into the cell. Some of it is trapped in the form of high energy phosphate bonds to form ATP and a large amount of it is lost in the form of heat.
