Metabolism
motility
protein pumps (sodium-potassium pump for example)
creating gradients (chemical or electrical)
Other protein pumps that shuttle anything against its gradient (from low to high concentration)
Activation and/or deactivation of second messangers
I am sure there are others...

How do cells carry out a variety of fuctions that sustain life?
Is cells
Is tissue made up of similar types of cells that carry out the same fuctions?
yea
what TYPE of animal cell that has a lot of mitochondra?
Cells that require a lot of energy to carry out their functions, such as muscle cells and nerve cells, tend to have a high concentration of mitochondria. Muscle cells, for example, require a lot of energy to contract and relax, so they have a high density of mitochondria to produce the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) required for energy. Similarly, nerve cells require a lot of energy to transmit signals along their length, so they also have a high concentration of mitochondria. Other cells that have a high density of mitochondria include liver cells, which have a lot of metabolic processes, and kidney cells, which require a lot of energy to carry out their filtration function.
How do proteins in your cells access the energy stores in ATP?
Proteins in your cells access the energy stored in ATP by breaking down glucose. ATP will release energy any time the cells need to carry out functions that require energy.
What types of cells require energy?
All of your cells require energy. Without energy you wouldn't be alive.
Which characteristic of body cells require large amounts of energy?
Cells that are metabolically active, such as muscle cells or neurons, require large amounts of energy to carry out their functions. These cells have high energy demands due to their constant activity and need for ATP production.
What are the names fuctions of blood particles?
Red blood cells RBC) carry oxygen.White Blood Cells (WBC) fight diseases and invaders.Platelets (blood cell fragments) help in clotting.
Why is the cell's concentration of mitochondria higher in certain cells?
Certain cells have higher concentrations of mitochondria because they require more energy production to meet their high metabolic demands. For example, muscle cells and neurons have higher concentrations of mitochondria to support their functions. Ultimately, the increased presence of mitochondria allows these cells to generate more ATP for energy.
Why do you think the body's cells require oxygen for their functioning?
The body's cells require oxygen for their functioning because it is essential for the process of cellular respiration, which is how cells produce energy. Oxygen is needed to break down glucose and other nutrients to create ATP, the molecule that provides energy for cellular activities. Without oxygen, cells would not be able to generate enough energy to carry out their functions effectively.
What do photosynthetic cells require in order to transform light energy into chemical energy?
Photosynthetic cells require chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light energy, and water to carry out the chemical reactions of photosynthesis. They also need carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to provide carbon for synthesizing organic molecules like glucose.
Do prokaryotic cells require energy?
Yes, prokaryotic cells require energy to carry out essential functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. They produce energy through processes such as glycolysis or aerobic respiration to fuel their biological activities.
What gives cells energy the cells need to carry out functions?
carbohydrates
