It is an active transport,
Transport mechanisms fall into two catagories passive and active. Passive transport mechanisms do not require the cell to do work for the substance to enter or leave the cell. Instead the energy involved comes from the kinetic energy of the molecules in solution. Active transport mechanisms involve the cell to use cellular energy usually in the form of ATP to power special protein pumps to bring material into the cell.
Passive transport mechanisms Active Transport mechanisms
- Simple diffusion
- Osmosis
- Facilitated Diffusion
- Simple protein channels
- Gated channels
- Active transport via protein pumps
- Bulk flow mechanisms
- endocytosis
- phagocytosis
- pinocytosis
- exocytosis
The passive transport mechanisms and the protein pump mechanisms involve movement of substances as single molecules across the membrane. The "bulk" flow mechanisms endocytosis and exocytosis enable the cell to take in very large packages of molecules...say a food item from the environment. Many books treat these bulk flow mechanisms as separate from active transport for that reason.

Which is a type of passive transport?
There are four types of passive transport. The four types for transports are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.
Which is not a kind of endocytosis phagocytosis pinocytosis receptor-mediated endocytosis osmosis?
osmosis
How are concentration gradients maintained for diffusion?
Passive transports such as diffusion and osmosis move down their concentration gradients.
What bulk transport moves material out of the cell?
passive transport- diffusion, osmosis bulk/ active transport: requires energy ------------------------------------------- A+ -- exocytosis
What passive transports function?
Passive transport refers to the movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes. The function of the passive transport is that it is used in filtration and osmosis processes.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
What are 3 different passive transports?
Diffusion, osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion
What are the kinds of transports?
Active transportation and passive transportation (found in facilitated diffusion and osmosis)

What process transports particles that move through cell membrane between phospholipid molecules?
Osmosis, Passive Transport, and Active Transport
What kind of particles are moved in endocytosis?
because endocytosis is an active transport process by which large particles enter a cell.
Movement of large molecules into a cell is called?
hydrogen bondingANS2:Substances are moved into cells by both active transport and passive transport. An example of active transport is "Endocytosis". An example of passive transport is "Diffusion".
