Endocytosis - the way in which cells take in food and other materials. The cells membrane wraps around the particle it needs on its outside, ingesting it. This then becomes trapped within a vacuole inside the cells cytoplasm where it is broken down, digested, and absorbed by enzymes.
What else can I help you with?
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
What is a type of active transport by which a cell surrounds a large particle?
Phagocytosis is a type of active transport in which a cell engulfs large particles or microorganisms by surrounding them with its cell membrane and forming a vesicle called a phagosome. This process is commonly used by immune cells to engulf and destroy pathogens or debris in the body.
What process changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds with it?
The process that changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds to it is called conformational change. This change in shape allows the protein to either open a channel for the particle to pass through or undergo a rotational movement to transfer the particle across the membrane.
The transport of materials against the concentration gradient is called?
In biology (and cut potatoes in baths) this process is called Osmosis; in the Water Purification Industry the process called Reverse Osmosis is employed.
What is the process that requires the use of energy to move materials across a membrane?
Active transport is the process that requires the use of energy to move materials across a membrane. This process involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input from the cell.
A larce particle can enter a cell by an active transport process called?
endocytosis
What is it called when a particle transports requires input of energy from a cell?
Active biological Transport.

Process by which water moves into the cells of lens is called?
active transport
What is the movement of molecules across a membrane against their concentration at the expense of ATP energy called?
Active transport. It requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
What type of transport is used to move a molecule from a region of low concentration to a region to a high concentration?
active transport
What is the transport of materials against a concentration gradient called?
The process of moving materials against a concentration gradient is called active transport. Active transport generally uses a protein pump to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration; in order to perform an active transport, the cell must use some of its energy to initiate the reaction.
What is it called when molecules uses energy to move across a semipermeable membrane?
Active transport
