Answer:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes.In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP. When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy stored in the bond that the cell can use to do work.

Answer:

passive transport

Explanation:

Diffusion is one of the ways molecules/substances move or is transported. It is the process whereby substances move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration until there is an even distribution. Movement via diffusion occurs down a concentration gradient i.e high to low.

Since diffusion occurs down a concentration gradient, which is difference in concentration of a substance, it requires no energy in form of ATP to occur. This kind of transport which requires no energy input is called PASSIVE TRANSPORT, in contrast to active transport which requires.
