  1. Excretion, digestion, respiration.


  2. Everything takes energy. In some cases, even trying to take in energy takes more energy than it's worth. For example, celery has so few calories, that you actually burn more calories eating it than you gain from the celery. Basically, living organisms are always burning energy.

  3. Movement: Within the Organism (Circulation of the blood) and the organism itself (muscular contraction).

    Specifically in Active Transport - the Sodium-Potassium Pump Mechansim.

    Maintenance, Repair and Division of cells and the organelles within them.

    Maintenace of Body Temperature

    Deamination of Ammonia in the Ornithine cycle - producing Urea

    In Respiration specifically Glycolysis requires ATP to start of the other processes.

    Photosynthesis requires light energy for Hydroloysis.


  4. growth cell division feeding for energy and energy for feeding and digestion absorbsion threw resporation and light reproduction

  5. respiration.

    reproduction

    and digestion

    and im sure there are more which i will put if i think of them

  6. cell movement, transmission of impulses (ie nerve cells). Jakers, trying to remember back to uni and high school here! thats all i can remember so far :P

  7. Photosynthesis.
