Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
require the cell to expend energy to get materials through the cell membrane by
A
active processes
B
passive processes
C
negative processes
D
positive processes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocytosis requires energy and is thus a form of active transport. Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a process by which cells internalize molecules (endocytosis) by the inward budding of plasma membrane vesicles containing proteins with receptor sites specific to the molecules being internalized.

Detailed explanation-2: -Active transport: moving against a gradient To move substances against a concentration or electrochemical gradient, a cell must use energy. Active transport mechanisms do just this, expending energy (often in the form of ATP) to maintain the right concentrations of ions and molecules in living cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In active transport, substances move against a concentration gradient across a cell membrane. Hence energy is required. The energy available in the body in the form of ATP is used to move this substance across the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Active transport uses energy to transport molecules across the plasma membrane. This uses energy from ATP. They also use pumps to get molecules in or out of the cell.
