Active Transport

Question 1

Define active transport

Answer 1

Active process: ATP hydrolysis releases phosphate group that binds to carrier protein, causing it to change shape.
Specific carrier proteins transport molecule/ions from area of low concentration to area of higher concentration

Question 2

Define exocytosis and endocytosis

Answer 2

Exocytosis: involving bulk transport out of cell

Endocytosis:
-phagocytosis: bulk transport of solids into cell using vesicle
-pinocytosis: bulk transport of liquid into a cell using vesicle
