passive and active
which of the following does NOT fall into passive transport: exocytosis, diffusion, osmosis
exocytosis
passive transport requires energy true or false
false, it does not
where does movement occur in passive transport
places of high concentration to low concentration
diffusion is the movement of water from high water concentration to low water concentration across a semi-permeable membrane until equilibrium true or false
false, it is the movement of MOLECULES from places of high to low concentration until an equilibrium is reached
facilitated diffusion is assisted by _
carrier proteins
osmosis involves the movement of water true or false
true
osmosis is a type of active transport true or false
false, it is passive transport
osmosis is a special type of _
diffusion
what is the difference between exocytosis and endocytosis
exocytosis is the transport of substances from within the cell to outside the cell, while endocytosis is the reverse
the two types of exocytosis are phagocytosis and pinocytosis true or false
