Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Endocytosis is a form of active transport.
Detailed explanation-2: -Both endocytosis and exocytosis are active transport processes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Passive transport is a way that small molecules or ions move across the cell membrane without input of energy by the cell. The three main kinds of passive transport are diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
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.
