Question 15

Matching

Match each of the following mechanisms of cellular transport with its correct definition.

Premises:

Responses:

osmosis

A process in which liquid droplets are ingested by living cells.

facilitated diffusion

Movement of a molecule from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.

diffusion

Secretory vesicles that have moved through the cytoplasm along microtubules contact the plasma membrane and release their contents

receptor-mediated endocytosis

Diffusion of molecules across the plasma membrane with the assistance of transport proteins.

pinocytosis

Cells internalize molecules into a cell by the inward budding of vesicles possessing receptors specific to the molecule being transported.

exocytosis

Large particles are enveloped by the cell membrane and internalized.

phagocytosis

Movement of water from a hypotonic solution into a hypertonic solution across a selectively permeable membrane.
