Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Every cell in the monkey's body (and ours) is constantly converting the stored solar energy in glucose into work and heat. The work is used to carry on cell processes like growing, reproducing, moving molecules around, and getting rid of waste. The heat is a byproduct of the fuel "burning" process.
