Endocytosis is a form of active transport.
Active transport requires energy to move substances across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, whereas passive transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient. Examples of active transport include the sodium-potassium pump and endocytosis.
Exocytosis is a form of active transport.

It is the active transport of liquids in vesicles into and out of a cell so it uses metabolic energy, thus active
No. Endocytosis requires the cell to expend energy, therefore it is a form of active transport.

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 mechanismsSimple diffusionOsmosisFacilitated DiffusionSimple protein channelsGated channelsActive transport via protein pumpsBulk flow mechanismsendocytosisphagocytosispinocytosisexocytosisThe 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.
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
It is a type of passive diffusion, as the water travels along a concentration gradiant. As opposed to active transport, where the substances can pass against a concentration gradiant.
Passive ways of crossing the plasma membrane include diffusion and facilitated diffusion, where substances move across the membrane down their concentration gradient without the use of energy. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy, typically in the form of ATP, to move substances against their concentration gradient. Examples of active transport include the sodium-potassium pump and endocytosis. Overall, passive transport relies on natural concentration differences, while active transport requires energy input.
