What is a description of endocytosis with active transport?

Endocytosis with active transport involves the process of cells taking in large molecules or particles through the cell membrane using energy from ATP. This form of endocytosis allows cells to selectively uptake specific substances from their environment by binding them to specific receptor proteins on the membrane. The energy required for this process ensures that only necessary substances are taken in by the cell.


What is a endocytosis general description?

There are two types of endocytosis: Phagocytosis (cell-eating) and Pinocytosis (cell-drinking). Endocytosis is a process in which a cell fully engulfs materials from the outside and fuses them to its plasma membrane. These materials are usually the larger of materials since they aren't small enough to cross the cell's plasma membrane by some sort of diffusion. Endocytosis is an energy using process in which cells absorb molecules by engulfing them.


What is the difference between endocytosis and phagocytosis?

Phagocytosis is a kind of endocytosis. Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis. These are just different ways to enter large molecules inside the cell.


Is endocytosis a form of passive or active transport?

Endocytosis is a form of active transport.


Are endocytosis and exocytosis passive or active processes?

Endocytosis and exocytosis are active processes.


In which process does a portion of the cell membrane fold inward and surround molecules to bring them into the cell?

This process is called endocytosis. It involves the formation of a vesicle from the cell membrane to engulf molecules and bring them into the cell. Endocytosis can occur through various mechanisms such as phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.


When a cell membrane surrounds a particle encloses it into a vesicle and brings the particle into the cell this is called?

The process is called phagocytosis, which means "cell eating".


What is it called when a part of a cell membrane closes around a molecule to allow the molecule to enter the cell?

This is called endocytosis.

Does the process of endocytosis require the use of ATP?

Yes, the process of endocytosis does require the use of ATP.


How much energy is required for endocytosis to occur?

Endocytosis requires energy in the form of ATP to occur.
