% Cellular ingestion of particles

Answer 16

Phagocytosis

Question 17

% Cellular ingestion of fluids

Answer 17

Pinocytosis

Question 18

% Process where substances are moved outside the cell

Answer 18

Exocytosis

Question 19

% Cell membrane is also known as

Answer 19

Plasma Membrane

Question 20

% Why should endocytosis and exocytosis occur at equal rates?

Answer 20

So the cell doesn’t gain/lose too much cell membrane

Answer 24

Facilitated Diffusion

Question 25

% Uses special receptor proteins to help carry large particles across the cell membrane

Answer 25

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis

Question 26
