For switching applications transistor is biased to operate in the saturation or cutoff region. Transistor in cutoff region will act as an open switching whereas in saturation will act as a closed switch.
ECMs use large scale integrated circuits that are usually embedded in epoxy. They do not contain discrete transistors and are generally not designed to be serviced.
Transistors can operate at low voltages, but the term "low voltage" is relative and depends on the specific application and type of transistor. For instance, many modern digital circuits use low-voltage transistors designed to operate effectively at voltages below 1.8 volts, while others may function at higher voltages. Overall, transistors are versatile components that can be designed for a range of voltage levels depending on their intended use.
Transistors themselves consume very little power; they are designed to switch and amplify electrical signals efficiently. In modern electronic devices, especially in integrated circuits, the power consumption is primarily determined by the overall design, operating frequency, and load conditions rather than the transistors alone. Advances in technology, such as low-power transistors, have further reduced energy consumption in applications like smartphones and computers.
The primary reason that NPN transistors are used more often than PNP transistors is that they usually operate faster (at higher frequencies) because the mobility of the current carriers in NPN transistors (electrons) is much higher than that of the current carriers in PNP transistors (holes).
You need to know the specifications for the transistors and search for them on the internet.

Power transistors are transistors that are used in high-power amplifiers and power supplies.
A transistor is typically smaller than the tip of a human hair. Transistors are microelectronic devices used in electronic circuits and are designed to be very small, often in the nanometer range. The tip of a human hair is usually larger in comparison.
Transistors are made out of semiconductors, yes.
Silicon and germanium are the elements used in transistors
