The process in which a cell uses the cell membrane to surround and “eat” substances; a type of active transport that requires energy is called...

• endocytosis

• exocytosis

The process in which a cell expels substances by moving a vacuole to the surface and releasing its contents; a type of active transport that requires ATP energy is called...
