What happens to the energy released during cellular respiration?
The energy released during cellular respiration is used to synthesize ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. ATP is then used to power metabolic processes such as protein synthesis, muscle contraction, and active transport.

It is not possible to determine how much energy the secondary consumer will have based on the information given. The biomass and energy production of the oak trees do not directly indicate the energy available to the secondary consumer, as energy is lost at each trophic level through processes such as respiration and non-predatory mortality. Additional information on the trophic interactions and energy flow in the ecosystem is needed to make this calculation.
