Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organisms require energy for various purposes, including the performance of mechanical work (such as muscle contraction), active transport (moving substances across cell membranes against a concentration gradient), and the synthesis of biomolecules (building complex molecules from simpler ones). Therefore, all the options A, B, and C are correct, making E the correct choice.
