Is pinocytosis acitve or passive transport?

It is the active transport of liquids in vesicles into and out of a cell so it uses metabolic energy, thus active


Is endocytocsis a form of passive transport?

No. Endocytosis requires the cell to expend energy, therefore it is a form of active transport.


Exocytosis active or passive?

active


What form of transport is not a form of passive 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.

Is Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis Passive or Active Transport?

It is niether. Its is passive actually. http://www.mansfield.ohio-state.edu/~sabedon/campbl08.htm #38. under Endocytosis, which is active passport, includes the example of Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis.


Passive and active transport?

Active Transpot. -Pumps -Endocytosis -Exocytosis Passive Transport - Diffusion -osmosis -Facilitated Diffusion active requires energy passive doesnt. active against concentration gradient, passive along concentration gradient.


Are osmosis and endocytosis passive transports?

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.


Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?

Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.


Is osmosis form of active transport or 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.


Which are passive and which are active ways of crossing the plasma membrane?

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.
