Question
Chapter 5.2, Problem 5TC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The difference between exocytosis and diffusion of material out of a cell.
Introduction:
The active transport uses the cellular movement of molecules across the cell membrane; it involves process such as endocytosis and exocytosis. Passive transport involves the movement of molecules across the cell membrane without using cellular energy, it involves osmosis and diffusion.
