Every living thing requires energy as do machines of various kinds.
Energy is required for activity to happen within a sysytem
homeostasis
listless
Endergonic; if the energy is supplied in the form of heat, endothermic.
basal metabolism
Yes, anabolic endergonic metabolism is an energy-requiring process that builds complex molecules in living organisms.
Osmosis and diffusion both require kinetic energy. Neither process uses energy, just a presence of energy, that is why heating water allows particles to move into homeostatic balance more quickly. There is a higher amount of kinetic energy in hot liquid. To answer your question though osmosis can occur without energy.
active transport
Active absorption
Processes requiring energy are called endergonic processes. These processes usually involve the absorption of energy from the surroundings to proceed. Examples include photosynthesis and protein synthesis.
inspirationInpiration involves contraction of muscles. This is an energy requiring process
Yes, passive transport is a non-energy requiring process because it does not require energy input from the cell. It relies on the natural movement of molecules down their concentration gradient. Examples of passive transport include simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
