Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are three main active transport methods-ion pumps, exocytosis and endocytosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because it creates this potential difference across the membrane, the sodium-potassium pump is said to be electrogenic. The sodium-potassium pump carries out a form of active transport-that is, its pumping of ions against their gradients requires the addition of energy from an outside source.
Detailed explanation-3: -Endocytosis is a mechanism for internalizing large extracellular molecules (e.g., proteins), insoluble particles, or even microorganisms. The three main types of exocytosis are phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis.
