Cell membranes are semi-permeable and allows small substances to go in but what if the cell needs the large substances and does not want the smaller substances?
The cell would dispose of the smaller substance later. There are generally two types of mechanisms that allow a cell to move substances across the cell membrane. One is called active transport and the other is passive transport. In passive transport the cell membrane is semipermeable and allows substances of smaller sizes to enter or leave the cell by diffusion, filtration, or osmosis. In active transport the cell membrane uses energy in the form of ATP molecule to move either atoms, molecules, or even larger things like parts of other cells, bacteria, or virus across the membrane. With the larger particles, the cell wall actually engulfs the object, surrounds it, and then collapses onto it so it is inside the cell. Then organelles called lysosomes, eat away at the foreign particle until it breaks down and gets digested inside the cell. These processes are called phagocytosis (for solids) and pinocytosis (for liquids).
What is bulk transport in cells?
Bulk transport in cells is the movement of large quantities of molecules or particles across the cell membrane at once. This process helps in the efficient transport of substances such as proteins, polysaccharides, or even entire organelles. Bulk transport includes both endocytosis (taking in substances) and exocytosis (releasing substances).
What is the name of two large scale forms of active transport?
Two large-scale forms of active transport are endocytosis and exocytosis. Endocytosis involves the engulfing of substances into the cell by wrapping them in a section of the cell membrane, while exocytosis is the process of expelling materials from the cell by vesicles fusing with the membrane. Both processes require energy, typically in the form of ATP, to move substances against their concentration gradient.
Large molecules and wastes move through the membrane through .?
Large molecules and waste materials move through the cell membrane primarily via vesicular transport mechanisms, such as endocytosis and exocytosis. In endocytosis, the cell membrane engulfs the material, forming a vesicle that brings it into the cell. Conversely, in exocytosis, vesicles containing waste or large molecules fuse with the membrane to release their contents outside the cell. These processes allow for the transport of substances that cannot pass through the membrane by simple diffusion.
Large particles may need to use energy to pester you so membrane what is this called?
The process you're referring to is likely "active transport." This is a mechanism by which large particles or substances move across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy, usually in the form of ATP. Active transport is essential for maintaining cellular functions and homeostasis, allowing cells to uptake necessary molecules and expel waste.
What occurs if substances are too large to pass through the cell membrane by active or passive transport?
passive transport
When do cells do active transport?
When transporting substances from low to high concentration, or when transporting substances too large to pass through the membrane without assistance from a transport protein.
Process when large molecules food and other substances are packaged and moved across the membrane?
bulk transport

Movement of large molecules into a cell is called?
hydrogen bondingANS2:Substances are moved into cells by both active transport and passive transport. An example of active transport is "Endocytosis". An example of passive transport is "Diffusion".

What moves large amounts of material across the cell membrane?
Proteins embedded in the cell membrane, such as transport proteins and channels, help move large amounts of materials across the cell membrane. These proteins regulate the passage of substances like ions, nutrients, and waste in and out of the cell. Transport can be either passive (diffusion) or active (requiring energy).
How does a cell membrane allow nutrients to get in?
The cell membrane is semi-permeable, which means that it allows certain substances to go through.For substances that are too large, there are vacuoles and transport proteins that assist the large substances.There is also facilitated transport, passive transport, and active transport. Passive transport is the only one where substances can go through the membrane without the cell expending energy.
How do substances get in and out of a cell if they are to big to pass through the cell membrane?
Do you mean how do substances move through a cell membrane if they are too big to transport by passive transport?If so, a cell uses active transport to move large particles in and out of a cell. Active transport includes endocytosis, pinocytosis, and phagocytosis.
What is the movement of large substances out of the cell?
Exocytosis is the process by which large substances are moved out of the cell. This involves the fusion of vesicles containing the substances with the cell membrane, releasing the substances outside the cell.
The movement of relatively large particles across a plasma membrane via transport proteins?
... is called "facilitated diffusion".
