What is the process called when a cell surrounds a large particle with pseudopodia and then engulfs it?

phagocytosis


What are 2 types of active transport?

A) Active transport through special transport proteins in the plasma membrane. ATP causes these proteins to change shapes and move materials from low to high concentration. B) Bulk transport - moving large particles through the membrane by endocytosis or exocytosis.


A large particle can enter a cell by an active transport process called?

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.


How are active transport and passive transport different from each other?

The most basic difference between active and passive transport is that active requires energy while passive does not. You would require active transport if the substance is going against the concentration of molecules inside and outside of the membrane or if the substance is particularly large. Passive is more for smaller molecules that go with the concentration of the molecules inside and outside of the membrane.


Type of active transport that moves large particles into a cell through vesicles?

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.

How does a cell take in large particles how does a cell expell large particles?

EXOCYTOSIS-When a large particle must be removed from the cell, the cell uses a different process. In EXOCYTOSIS,vesicles are formed at the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi complex and carry the particles to the cell membrane.ENDOCYTOSIS-In ENDOCYTOSIS, the cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicle. This is how large particles, such as other cells, can be brought into a cell.They both require the use of ATP though, like active transport. However, passive transport doesn't require ATP.Phagocytosis is the cell that takes in large particles. This is used in Biology.

How does as large particle leave a cell using active transport?

It requires energy, and a carrier protein. The large particle binds to the carrier protein on the inside of the cell. The protein then changes conformation, thus moving the particle to the outside, where it is dropped off by another conformational change in the protein.


Does passive transport requires large amounts of energy?

No. only active transport does

Active transport


How does a large particle leave a cell by a active transport?

It requires energy, and a protein carrier molecule. The large particle binds to the protein carrier on the inside of the cell. It is then transported across the membrane as a result of a conformational change in the protein (think of it flipping), and then it is released on the outside of the cell. Again, this requires some source of energy.


What occurs if substances are too large to pass through the cell membrane by active or passive transport?

passive transport


What type of molecule embedded in the cell membrance allows larger molecule to pass through the membrance by active transport?

Transport proteins allow the active transport of large molecules through the cellular membrane.


What is large particles that may need to use energy to pass through cell membranes called?

Its passive transport not active because active transport does NOT use energy
