• protein synthesis

• pinocytosis

• cellular respiration

Active transport is different from passive transport in that active transport involves

• the movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration

• an expenditure of energy

• the use of ribosomes

• a process which occurs only in the cells of simple plants and animals

The process of osmosis is best illustrated by the movement of

• water into root hair cells

• oxygen into red blood cells

• carbon dioxide through stomates

• glucose through phloem

Which process requires cellular energy to move molecules across the cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of high concentration?

• hydrolysis

• diffusion

• osmosis

• active transport

Which organelle is involved most directly in the digestion of large particles brought into the cell by phagocytosis?

• ribosome

• mitochondrion

• lysosome

• nucleolus
