Endocytosis is the bulk transport of materials into a cell, using energy in the form of ATP. It is an active process, and the energy is used to move the membranes around the materials to form the vesicles that are needed, and to move the vesicles into the cell.

In scientific terms give a definition of energy?
Energy in its most general definition can be thought of as the ability to do work. The type of work can vary-mechanical, electrical, thermal, nuclear, and so on. There is a good Wikipedia entry under Energy which is worth study.
Approximately what percentage of the energy of glucose is transferred to storage in ATP as a result of the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water in cellular respiration?
Energy is measured in calories. 2 ATP gives a gain of 14 kcal. The glucose in glycolysis that grants these ATP is worth 686 kcal. Therefore, only about 2 percent of the energy is released.
When the central air conditioning unit is on but not running for hours at a time is it still using energy and should it be shut off?
If it's an older mechanical thermostat, no, you're not using ANY energy if the AC compressor and fan are not on. The newer, electronic thermostats use such an incredibly small amout of energy that it's not worth mentioning, but you also can't say it isn't using ANY.

Does nuclear fission produce more energy than it costs to make the energy?
Well yes, it wouldn't be worth building a nuclear plant otherwise. Of course the construction with a lot of highly expensive engineering features does cost a lot, compared with a natural gas plant, but the fuel costs once it is built are much lower, so it's best to run a nuclear plant continuously at full power. 'Making the energy' doesn't mean much, as the energy comes from uranium that occurs on earth naturally, we don't make it, though the uranium has to be mined refined and enriched which all uses energy. The structures of the plant in terms of steel, concrete, etc also consume a lot of energy to make them, but once the plant is built it will produce a lot of energy for perhaps 50-60 years. I don't have an energy balance to present to you, but certainly the energy produced over the plant's life will far exceed what is used in building it and the energy used to make the fuel.

Why would the tertiary consumers have the smallest population?
Because of something known as the 10% rule. This means that only 10% of the energy can go to the next consumer level. That may not have been worded well, so here's an unrealistic but explanatory example; 1000g of algae (producer) is consumed by a fish (primary consumer), but only 10% of the energy (100g worth) can go to the fish. Then a bird eats that fish, which has 100g worth of energy from the algae. That bird get's 10% of the energy in the fish, so 10g worth. Now a wolf eats the bird, which only had 10g worth of energy from the fish. That wolf get's 10% of the energy from the bird, so the wolf (tertiary consumer), only gets 1g worth of the original 1000g.
