Negative Pressure System or to call it simply, Inhalation, is the part of breathing that requires energy. Energy is required for the diaphragm to contract. The diaphragm contracts and moves down, the chest expands, volume of the thoracic cavity and lungs increase. These combined action causes the pressure inside the lung to decrease below that of the atmosphere. As a result, air is pulled into the lungs.

Yes. The contraction and expansion of the chest muscles,the movement of the diaphragm all require energy for the muscles to work.Breathing is the action of inhalation and exhalation and different from respiration .

Only time energy is used is during glycolysis, where two ATP molecules are dephosphorylated to become ADP, releasing energy during the process.

What are passive transport active transport and endocytosis?

These are three different ways that cells have to get things in and out of the cell. Passive transport is movement without the use of energy, active transport requires energy.Active transport requires energy since the molecules are going toward a region that has a higher concentration of that molecule. The cell is 'stuffing' more into itself.Endocytosis means to 'take into the cell'. Usually this a larger molecule and cell must wrap part of itself around the molecule and then can bring it inside. This is a type of phagocytosis (cell eating).This requires energy as well.


What kind of molecules are moved in active transport?

Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.

Are proteins part of the cell membranes and store energy?

Protein can provide energy, but this is extremely inefficient. This is due to the fact that the energy it takes to make it usable as energy is almost as much as the energy it provides.


What is respiration in humans?

Breathing and Respiration are not the same thing. Breathing is movement of air into and out of the lungs. Respiration is the process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a complex series of chemical reactions inside cells. Hope this helped!

How do materials move in and out of cells and animal cells?

Materials can move in and out of animal cells through one of two reasons: Passive transport or active transport. Passive transport happens naturally and requires no energy on the part of the cell. It usually happens through osmosis, diffusion, or facilitated diffusion. Active transport involves endocytosis, exocytosis, or molecules moving from a low concentration to high concentration. Active transport requires energy.

The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy?

It's called active transport. When talking about the cell, it is usually bigger substances that use passages in the cell membrane to access the inner part of the cell, and they need energy to get there. The opposite; passive transport or diffusion, is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy. THis happens with smaller substances.


Do facilitated diffusion require energy?

No energy is needed because it's a part of passive transport, not active transport.


How are diffusion and active transport different?

There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient. That is, when an area has more concentration than the other area. Diffusion is used to transfer particles from one place to another. Active transport is used to transfer particles, usually occurring against a concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy to occur however, diffusion does not. There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient.

Does exocytosis need to expend energy to perform?

Yes , Exocytosis is a part of active transport meaning it needs energy to move from concentration gradients.
