TRANSPORT INTO AND OUT OF THE CELL

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Endocytosis and exocytosis are types of active transport that utilize a vesicle to move substances into and out of the cell. This type of transport is considered active transport because
A
it requires the use of ATP
B
it requires the use of glucose
C
it does not require energy
D
it moves substances from a high to low concentration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocytosis and exocytosis are the bulk transport mechanisms used in eukaryotes. As these transport processes require energy, they are known as active transport processes.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two types of vesicle transport, endocytosis and exocytotic vesicles. Both processes are active transport processes, requiring energy. The plasma membrane folds over the substance and it becomes completely enclosed by the membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endocytosis is considered active transport because it requires that the cell use energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Endocytosis (endo = internal, cytosis = transport mechanism) is a general term for the various types of active transport that move particles into a cell by enclosing them in a vesicle made out of plasma membrane.
