Cellular Respiration 1. Metabolism. Everything that you do requires energy, even when you are sleeping you are using energy. All of the chemical energy that takes place in your body (either using or releasing energy) is called The endergonic process that requires energy to build larger, complex molecules is while is exergonic, releasing energy and breaks down larger, complex molecules. Together they sum up your overall metabolism (see section 6.1 in your text) 1.1 Briefly describe kinetic vs potential energy (section 6.2). 1.2 Which of the above is present in chemical bonds?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
