Active Transport

Question 1

endocytosis

Answer 1

substances move into cell by folding the cell membrane inwards then creating a vesicle. Used for a lot of solute or large molecules

Question 2

exocytosis

Answer 2

opposite of endocytosis
vesicle goes to membrane and merges
it fuses with the membrane and releases the substance outside the cell

Question 3

protein pumps

Answer 3

moves particles against the concentration gradient. requires energy. every pump is specific. uses ATP

Question 4

sodium potassium pump

Answer 4

moves sodium OUT
potassium IN
against concentration gradient. Req ATP. Allows nerve cells to send messages and allows to homeostasis

Question 5

phagocytosis

Answer 5

cellular eating

Question 6

pinocytosis

Answer 6

cellular drinking

Question 7

active transport

Answer 7

requires energy
moves molecules from low to high concentration
purpose: homeostasis
types: cytosis, endocytosis, exocytosis, protein pump

Question 8

cytosis

Answer 8

is a transport mechanism for the movement of large quantities of molecules into and out of cells
