Biology Passive and Active Transport

During a biology class experiment, Benjamin and Aria observed a cell taking in a substance by surrounding it with the cell membrane, which then pinched off into a vesicle. What is this process called?

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

Avery, Luna, and Maya are studying biology. They learned about a process where a cell's vesicles join with the cell membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell. Luna thinks it's called Endocytosis, but Maya thinks it's Exocytosis. Which process is correct?

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

Michael is a biology student studying about cell transport. He learned that there is a specific type of transport protein that carries large molecules, like glucose, through the cell membrane. Can you help Mason and Abigail identify this protein?

• Channel Protein

• Carrier Protein

Evelyn, Olivia, and Samuel are studying cell biology. They are discussing about the type of transport protein that forms channels/pores in the cell membrane. Can you help them identify it?

• Channel Protein

• Carrier Protein

Nora, Kai, and Benjamin are studying cells in their biology class. They learned that there is a semipermeable part of the cell that acts like a security guard, controlling what comes into and out of the cell. What is this part called?

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Wall

• Cell Membrane

• Cytoskeleton

Luna, James, and Aria are studying for their biology exam. They are discussing the two types of Active Transport that cells use to move molecules. Can you help them identify these? Select all that apply.

• Endocytosis

• Osmosis

• Exocytosis

• Diffusion

• Facilitated Diffusion

How would you describe Active Transport? Select all that apply.

• Uses the cell's energy to move molecules.

• Moves molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

• Does not use the cell's energy to move molecules.

• Moves molecules from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration.

What is a characteristic of active transport?

• Not using energy

• Using energy

• Not breaking down

• Building protein

What is the process during which a cell takes in a substance by surrounding it with the cell membrane?

• Active Transport

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

• Passive Transport

When a cell does the exocytosis process, it uses the membrane to...

• Take in substances in to the cell.

• Release substances outside of the cell.

• Stay balanced and healthy.

• Maintain PH levels
