Energyis required for a variety of life processes including
A
Growth and Reproduction
B
Movement
C
Transport of materials across the cell membrane during passive transport
D
Transport of materials across the cell membrane during Active Transport.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Active transport requires a form of energy (often ATP) to drive the movement of solutes against their electrochemical gradient, resulting in a nonequilibrium distribution of the solute across the membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Active transport: moving against a gradient To move substances against a concentration or electrochemical gradient, a cell must use energy. Active transport mechanisms do just this, expending energy (often in the form of ATP) to maintain the right concentrations of ions and molecules in living cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Active transport requires energy for the process by transporting molecules against a concentration or electrochemical gradient.

Detailed explanation-4: -The energy for active transport comes from the energy-carrying molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Active transport may also require transport proteins, such as carrier proteins, which are embedded in the plasma membrane. Two types of active transport are pump and vesicle transport.

Detailed explanation-5: -Facilitated diffusion is diffusion that is helped along (facilitated by) a membrane transport channel. These channels are glycoproteins (proteins with carbohydrates attached) that allow molecules to pass through the membrane.
