Diffusion requires 0(zero) energy to take place. It does what it does because of a concentration gradient that exists.

How do endocytosis and exocytosis differ from diffusion?

i know a ton about this, learned it last year! Endocytosis is when a cell absorbs a protien by engulfing it. Exocytosis is the oppisite of endocytosis. This is how waste is produced (cell waste). It is the release of cell surface's substances through vesicles. TO remeber which is which just think of exocytosis as the waste is EXITING the cell and endocytosis is protiens ENtering the cell


What molecules move with endocytosis and exocytosis as opposed to diffusion or active transport?

Large molecules or particles such as proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and even whole cells are typically transported through endocytosis and exocytosis, as they are too large to pass through the cell membrane via diffusion or active transport. Endocytosis brings substances into the cell by engulfing them in a vesicle, while exocytosis expels substances out of the cell by merging vesicles with the cell membrane.


Which process always involves the movement of materials from inside the cell to outside the cell A. Phagocytosis B. Endocytosis C. Diffusion D. Exocytosis E. Osmosis?

D. Exocytosis involves the release of materials from inside the cell into the extracellular space.


What are 5 Mechanism of cellular exchange?

Passive diffusion: Movement of small, non-polar molecules across the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion: Movement of specific molecules through protein channels in the cell membrane. Active transport: Movement of molecules against the concentration gradient using energy from ATP. Endocytosis: Uptake of large molecules or particles by the cell through invagination of the cell membrane. Exocytosis: Release of molecules or waste from the cell by fusion of vesicles with the cell membrane.


When proteins help transport molecules in and out of the cell it is called . passive diffusion facilitated diffusion active transport endocytosis and exocytosis?

The correct term for proteins helping transport molecules in and out of the cell is facilitated diffusion. This process involves the use of specific proteins that aid in the movement of molecules across the cell membrane, but it does not require energy input from the cell.

Is Glucose and amino acids move in or out of a cell by . passive diffusion facilitated diffusion active transport endocytosis and exocytosis?

Glucose and amino acids typically move into cells via facilitated diffusion and active transport. Facilitated diffusion relies on specific transport proteins to help these molecules cross the cell membrane down their concentration gradient. In contrast, active transport requires energy to move them against their concentration gradient. Endocytosis and exocytosis are mechanisms for larger molecules or particles, not typically for glucose and amino acids.


Infer why endocytosis and exocytosis are important processes to cells?

because some molecules and partcles are too large to move by diffusion or to use the cell membranes transport proteins.


Does diffusion use vesicles?

No, diffusion does not use vesicles. Diffusion is a passive process in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the use of vesicles. Vesicles are used in active transport processes like endocytosis and exocytosis.

How do materials move in and out of cells and animal cells?

Materials can move in and out of animal cells through one of two reasons: Passive transport or active transport. Passive transport happens naturally and requires no energy on the part of the cell. It usually happens through osmosis, diffusion, or facilitated diffusion. Active transport involves endocytosis, exocytosis, or molecules moving from a low concentration to high concentration. Active transport requires energy.

What is the movement of materials through a cell membrane?

Movement of substances into and out of cells include passive mechanisms that do not require cellular energy (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and filtration) and active mechanisms that use cellular energy (active transport, endocytosis,and exocytosis).


What processes are pasive and which are active?

Passive processes do not require energy input and occur spontaneously, such as diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion. Active processes require energy input to proceed, such as active transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis to move substances against their concentration gradient.
