20
Q

Uses ATP to move molecules against concentration gradient

A

Active transport

21
Q

a process by which cells absorb external material by engulfing it with the cell membrane.

A

Endocytosis

22
Q

Three types of endocytosis

A

Phagocytosis
Pinocytosis
Receptor-mediated endocytosis

23
Q

Nonspecific uptake of solid material

A

Phagocytosis

24
Q

Nonspecific uptake of small droplets of ECF

A

Pinocytosis

25
Q

Involves a specific receptor protein on the plasma membrane that recognizes the extracellular molecule and binds with it

A

Receptor-mediated endocytosis

26
Q

Involves the regular secretion of molecules and is performed by all cells

A

Constitutive exocytosis

27
Q

Relies on the presence of extracellular signals for the expulsion of materials within vesicles and occurs commonly in secretory cells

A

Regulated exocytosis

28
Q

a form of bulk transport during which large numbers of molecules are transported out of the cell

A

Exocytosis

29
