Question

  • moves molecules from _areas of low_ concentration to _areas of high_ concentration.
  • example: na⁺/k⁺ pump.
  • substances actively transported include: _suggar_, _aas_, na⁺, k⁺, ca²⁺, h⁺.
  • endocytosis = movement into the cell.

o pinocytosis = \cell _drinking_.\.
o phagocytosis = \cell _eating_.\.
o receptor - mediated endocytosis = highly ____ uptake.

  • exocytosis = movement _material out_ the cell.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

This text describes active transport in cells which moves molecules against the concentration - gradient (from low to high concentration), gives examples of substances actively transported and types of endocytosis (pinocytosis, phagocytosis, receptor - mediated endocytosis) and exocytosis. Receptor - mediated endocytosis is highly specific uptake.

Answer:

The blanks are filled as follows:

  • Moves molecules from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration.
  • Substances actively transported include: sugar, amino acids (AAs), $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $H^+$.
  • Pinocytosis = "cell drinking."
  • Phagocytosis = "cell eating."
  • Receptor - mediated endocytosis = highly specific uptake.
  • Exocytosis = movement of material out of the cell.
