Understanding Cell Transport Mechanisms

What is the main difference between passive and active transport?

• Passive transport requires energy, while active transport does not.

• Active transport requires energy, while passive transport does not.

• Both require energy.

• Neither requires energy.

Which of the following is an example of passive transport?

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

• Osmosis

• Protein pumps

What is the term for the process by which cells engulf large particles?

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

In active transport, molecules move:

• From high to low concentration

• From low to high concentration

• Randomly

• Only within the cell

Which process is used by cells to expel large molecules?

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

What is the main driving force behind passive transport?

• ATP

• Concentration gradient

• Enzymes

• Light energy

What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

• It swells

• It shrinks

• It remains the same

• It bursts

Organize these options into the right categories

Groups:

(a) Hypertonic

,

(b) Isotonic

(c) Hypotonic
