Diffusion does not require any energy because it occurs down a concentration gradient. This means it goes from one side which has a high concentration of a particular molecule, to another side with a low concentration of this molecule. This is a passive act, requiring no energy input from the cell because it simply equalizes the concentrations of the molecules on both sides of a membrane. Simple ion channels are in place for diffusion, and the molecule diffuses to the less concentrated side simply and without the need for ATP being broken down for energy.
Active transport on the other hand, does exactly the opposite. Molecules to be actively transported will go from a side in which they are less concentrated to a side in which there is already a high concentration of them, so against the concentration gradient. This process requires energy- if you think of cramming more objects into an already stuffed room, more energy and force is needed to push them into that crowded space.
Active transport therefore requires energy in the form of ATP to be released for the transport to take place, and is usually mediated via special transport channels which bind the molecule and transport it to the other side, with the cost of ATP being broken down to release energy.
To visualize this: it is easier to go down a slide, than it is to climb up it. Molecules in diffusion slide down the slide to the other side, but have to be actively transported up the slide by a helper (transport channel), with energy.
If you are asking if that is true or false I'd say true.

Explanation:
The answer is that when you eat the sweet candies and chocolates the buds will remain sweet so that's why the tea become tasteless. The buds only relive the sweetness by staying for few minutes or eat something else.
I hope this answers to your question
The 2 level portion in the graph represents the changing of state.
Every substance has internal energy, which includes kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy means the temperature, and the potential energy means the bondings or attractions.
When a substance is heated up, they first increase their temperature as the same state. For example, the ice starts at - 5 °C, they won't start melting immediately as they're not at their melting point yet. Instead, they first absorb heat and increase their temperature to 0°C. This is same for when water increase their temperature until their boiling point. Their kinetic energy is increasing, but potential energy is unchanged as they stay at the same state. That's why the slope is increasing.
However, but once the ice or water has reached their melting or boiling point, they have to go through a state change. During that time, they do not increase their temperature (K.E. unchanged) . Instead, the heat they absorbed is used to increase the potential energy to break the bonds and turn into another state. The heat absorbed is called latent heat.
This explains why in the graph, there's 2 level portions, as the substance is going through a state change and increasing their potential energy instead of their kinetic energy (temperature)
