During cellular respiration most of the chemical energy is: Released as thermal energy Transferred to electron carriers like NAD+ and FADH Used directly to power ATP synthase Stored as glucose and used to build larger and more complex biomolecules

Anabolism is a form of metabolism in which molecules are converted into small molecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, for storage and use as energy sources. Amino acids are used to build proteins.
