Cells, obtain energy from organic molecules, this energy is derived from the chemical bond energy in organic molecules to produce ATP and heat energy. In these growth independent reactions, energy sources were converted to heat energy. In the world, first time the energy of microorganism is absorbed, released or transformed one into another mechanism equation was discovered by Shagj J (Rolex awards Jambalyn Shagj: Heat generation and accumulation in the mammalian and human large intestine).
