ATP, or adenosine tri-phosphate, is utilized as an energy source by causing confirmational (shape) changes. One of the phosphate groups is stripped off and bound to the molecule that needs the energy, causing a shape change (usually in a direction that the work is needed to be done). This is accomplished until the desired work is complete, the now ADP (adenosine di-phosphate) is recycled and given a third phosphate group again so that it can be re-used later.

∙ 12y agoATP provides energy for a cell by storing energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate group. ATP really wants to get rid of the third phosphate group. When a cell needs energy it breaks the weak bond between the two phosphates and work is done.

∙ 12y agono! facilitated diffusion is passive therefore ATP is not required. facilitated diffusion is assisted by carrier and channel proteins
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, cells need energy to do any of their functions.

∙ 12y agoYes. ATP is the source of energy for cellular work. Cellular respiration or fermentation must occur for energy to be extracted from nutrient molecules and formed into ATP.

What is kineic energy?
Kinetic energy. That's energy related to the movement of objects, the "energy of movement".
What is the energy source of the movement of flagella and cilia?
The energy source for flagella and cilia is the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule used throughout the cell. ATP gets its energy from glucose and glycerol, that is from food.
Is kinetic energy movement?
Kinetic energy technically qualifies as movement.
Why doesnt a frozen puddle have kinetic energy?
"Kinetic energy" is energy related to movement. If there is no movement, there is no kinetic energy.
What is the relationship between energy and movement of particles in a substance?
Movement requires energy.
What is the use of energy to bring necessary materials into cell?
The same use of energy that is used to bring necessary materials into a cell.
What converts fuel particles into useable energy in a cell?
The mitochondria in a cell convert food cells into energy. The cell uses that energy to kickstart necessary reactions.
What is the movement of across the cell membrane using cell energy?
This type of movement is called simple diffusion.
What is the movement of materials through a cell using cellular energy?
cell
How is mechanical energy exhibited by a cell?
by cellular movement or cell growth
What is A cell moving particles with the use of energy is called?
Active transport: The movement of particles against the concentration gradient into or out of a cell. Bulk transport:The movement of large molecules into or out of the cell. Both of these require energy
Why is mitochondria necessary to cell life?
Mitochondria is like energy capsules for the cell and cells need plenty of energy to do what they are designed to do.
What is the movement of substances through a cell membrane without the use of cell energy?
passive transport
Does kinetic energy fuel a super cell?
Kinetic energy is the movement of molecules through a time constrained gradient. Since time flows unevenly through most mediums, it makes it virtually impossible for a super cell to maintain the resistance necessary to store this energy in its' passive state. However, the work done by the kinetic energy provides enough power to be utilized efficiently by the super cell.
What is the movement of substances without the use of energy by the cell?
Passive transport.
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.
What is a passive trasport?
Passive transport is the movement of molecules through cell membranes with out the use of energy by the cell
