Answer:
Any process that involves active transport most often involves the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP hydrolysis.
Explanation:
Active transport in cells is a form of transport which involves the transport of solute molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient using energy provided from some chemical reaction occuring in the cell.
Active transport is an endergonic (energy-requiring) process and therefore, must proceed only when coupled to an exergonic (energy-releasing) process such as the breakdown of ATP, an oxidation reaction, absorption of sunlight, etc.
In many instances in cell, such as the Na/K pump, ATP hydrolysis is the the common exergonic reaction to which active transport is coupled to.
You are correct the answer is nuclear fusion
E=hv is an equation important when dealing with light. E refers to the energy of a photon; h is Planck's constant and v is the wavelength. According to this equation, light particles called photons travels in packets of energy. This is important in pv cells because this is the technology used to harness solar energy which is converted to electricity. The amount of energy should be estimated to know the appropriate material of construction of the pv cell to achieve optimum conditions. In this way, the pv cell could maximize the sun's energy.
