Chapter 6: Q. 17 (page 177)

Name two different cellular functions that require energy that parallel human energy-requiring functions.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Cellular motion, as well as human motion are the two cellular functions that require energy.

Step by step solution

01

Concept introduction

Cellular functions are fundamental life processes such as protein and lipid synthesis, cell division and replication, respiration, metabolism, and transport as well as providing structural support for tissues etc, in which some processes like Cellular motion and human motion need energy.

02

Explanation

Cellular motion occurs through the beating of cilia and flagella and human motion produced by muscle contraction. Cellular motion, as well as human motion are the two cellular functions that require energy.
