Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Active transport is a movement of particles to and fro of the cells. Active transport is of two types: Exocytosis and Endocytosis. Exocytosis is pushing the particles out of the cell and endocytosis is taking the particles inside the cell.

The transportation of relatively small particles or liquids into the cell that are too big or unable to pass through a transport protein is best described as ________.   pinocytosis   phagocytosis   exocytosis   facilitated diffusion   diffusion
A cell that is missing this structure would not have a rigid structural support outside of its plasma membrane and would not be protected from exploding when placed in water. Name the structure and tell why.  Then state which type of cell(s) have this structure.
Secretory vesicles fuse with the cell membrane to release their contents to the outside of the cell. In this process, the membrane of the secretory vesicle becomes part of the cell membrane because small pieces of the membrane are continually added to the cell membrane, one would expect the cell membrane to become larger and larger as secretion continues. The cell membrane stays the same size, however. Explain how this happens.
