Which type(s) of vesicular transport is for nonspecific engulfment of fluid and materials from outside of the cell? a receptor-mediated endocytosis b exocytosis c pinocytosis d phagocytosis and pinocytosis
How is active transport different from simple diffusion? Both active transport and simple diffusion transport molecules against the concentration gradient. In active transport, molecules are moved down the concentration gradient; on the B contrary, molecules to be transported in simple diffusion are moved against the concentration gradient. In active transport, molecules are transported with the aid of transport proteins; on the © other hand, molecules to be transported in simple diffusion do not need transport proteins. In active transport, molecules that are transported does not need metabolic energy; in contrast, molecules transported in simple diffusion need metabolic energy.
As a cell grows its plasma membrane expands. Does this involve endocytosis or exocytosis? ATP is not directly involved in the functioning of a co-transporter. Why, then, is co-transport considered active transport?
What do diffusion and osmosis have in common? How are they different from active transport? In the nervous system, where can you find examples of each of these?
Glucose is a large molecule that cannot penetrate the phospholipid bilayer of cells. Instead, glucose enters most cells, such as red blood cells, through special carrier proteins embedded in the surface of the plasma membrane. In doing so, glucose moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Based on this information, which term best describes the uptake of glucose by red blood cells? O Facilitated diffusion O Simple diffusion O Active transport O Osmosis
