(a) All organisms respire. The ATP produced as a result of respiration is used as the energy currency of the cell. (b) Fur seals are mammals that are adapted to live in cold temperatures. Fur seals have large quantities of a type of fat tissue known as brown adipose tissue. Brown adipose cells contain many mitochondria. These mitochondria contain a transport protein called thermogenin. Fig. 2.1 shows the role of thermogenin in a mitochondrion of a brown adipose cell when external temperatures are cold. [Figure 2.1]
