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.
Endocytosis is the provess used by the cell to bring in large molecules.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, driven by random thermal motion. This process results in the equal distribution of molecules in a given space over time.
No, facilitated diffusion does not require energy for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
No, passive transport does not require ATP for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
Exocytosis
Active transport: The movement of particles against the concentration gradient into or out of a cell. Bulk transport:The movement of large molecules into or out of the cell. Both of these require energy
This process is called endocytosis. It involves the ingestion of large molecules or particles by the cell through the formation of a vesicle. The vesicle is formed when the cell membrane engulfs the material to be transported, creating a membrane-bound sac within the cell.
The process that allows movement of large molecules across a cell membrane is called endocytosis. In this process, the cell membrane engulfs the large molecules, forming a vesicle that brings them into the cell. There are different types of endocytosis, including phagocytosis for solid particles and pinocytosis for liquids. This mechanism enables cells to intake substances that cannot directly pass through the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
The process used by cells to remove large molecules is called endocytosis. Endocytosis involves the cell engulfing the molecules by forming a vesicle around them, which then moves the molecules into the cell for processing or removal.
The process of breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules is called catabolism. This process releases energy that cells can use for various functions.
The movement in and out of a cell is called active transport. Liquids inside cells contain different substances and there is movement in and out to maintain a proper balance of ions and molecules.
Cells use a variety of methods to move large molecules in and out of the cell. Endocytosis involves the cell engulfing large molecules by forming vesicles from the cell membrane. Exocytosis is the reverse process, where vesicles containing large molecules fuse with the cell membrane to release their contents outside of the cell. Transport proteins embedded in the cell membrane can also facilitate the movement of large molecules across the membrane through processes like facilitated diffusion and active transport.

If a disease caused a plasma membrane to thicken, it could disrupt the exchange of molecules in and out of the cell. This could lead to issues with cellular communication, nutrient uptake, and waste removal. Ultimately, it could result in cell dysfunction and potential cell death.
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
This would probably be phagocytosis.
