1. The difference between active and passive transport is that active transport
requires energy for the movement of molecules,while passive transport does not
2. Active transport is the movement of dissolved molecules into or out of a cell
via the cell membrane, from a lower concentration to a higher concentration, is
known as active transport. The particles use energy released during respiration
to move against the concentration gradient.
3. Molecules crossing a membrane using active transport go against the
concentration gradient.
4. Molecules crossing a membrane using active transport go from a lower
concentration to a higher concentration.
5. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
6. The “exo” prefix is related to the meaning of exocytosis since in this process the
membrane-bound vesicles that are filled with bulky materials will move to the
plasma and are released out of the cell. While the “endo” is associated with
endocytosis because it is in charge of moving particles, such as large molecules,
parts of cells, and even whole cells, into the cell.
7. Endocytosis is defined as the process of trapping a particle or even a
substance from the external environment by the process of engulfing it.
8. Exocytosis is a process in which secretory vesicles containing nanoparticles
are removed from cell membranes and released into the extracellular
environment.

9. Diffusion
10.Diffusion and osmosis are both passive transport processes that act to equalize
the concentration of a solution the difference of the diffusion and osmosis.
Diffusion is an active transport which allows both solvent and solute particles
to move freely and diffusion happens when molecules move from lower to higher
concentrations while the Osmosis happens when it is reversed and osmosis is a
passive transport that only solvent molecules move freely.

11. Figure A depicts the process of endocytosis, which is a type of active transport
that delivers particles into a cell.
12. Figure B shows the process of exocytosis, which is a form of active transport
and bulk transport in which a cell transports molecules out of the cell.
13. An amoeba engulfs a particle of food.

❖ Does this require energy? Yes

❖ Is this active or passive transport? Active Transport
❖ Is this endocytosis or exocytosis? Endocytosis
❖ Is this Phagocytosis or Pinocytosis? Phagocytosis
14. An amoeba expels waste.

❖ Does this require energy? No

❖ Is this active or passive transport? Active Transport
❖ Is this endocytosis or exocytosis? Exocytosis
15.Endocytosis and exocytosis can happen in the same cell since both nutrients
and waste need to pass through the cell membrane in order to live. It is the
process through which a cell transports and exports material in and out of the
cell.
16.Without amino acids, the cell would be unable to make proteins, which are
required to help control the cell's activity. As a result, the cell would shut down
and die.

Active Transport
➔ Rapid process
➔ Requires energy
➔ It is extremely selective
➔ It Occurs in one direction
➔ This procedure reduces or
stops as the level of oxygen
content is reduced
➔ In active transport Metabolic
inhibitors stop the active
transport
➔ Ions, large proteins, and cells
are transported.
➔ It can be affected by
temperature.
➔ The movement of the molecule
is from low concentration to
high concentration.
Passive Transport
➔ Comparatively slow process
➔ Doesn’t require energy
➔ It is partially non-selective
➔ It Occurs in bidirectional
➔ This procedure is not affected
by the oxygen content
➔ In passive transport Metabolic
inhibitors do not influence
passive transport.
➔ Water-soluble molecules are
transported such as oxygen,
carbon dioxide and more.
➔ It cannot be affected by
temperature.
➔ The molecule movement is
from high concentration to low
concentration
