Question 1

Which type of active transport process involves the engulfing of large particles or even other cells by a cell?

Accepted Answer

Endocytosis

Answer

Exocytosis

Answer

Phagocytosis

Answer

Pinocytosis

Question 2

Which of the following best describes the process of exocytosis in active transport?

Accepted Answer

The release of substances from a cell by fusion of vesicles with the cell membrane

Answer

The uptake of fluids by a cell through vesicle formation

Answer

The movement of molecules against their concentration gradient

Answer

The engulfing of large particles by a cell

Question 3

What is the significance of active transport in nutrient absorption in the intestines?

Accepted Answer

Active transport allows for the absorption of nutrients against their concentration gradient

Answer

Active transport absorbs nutrients by passive diffusion

Answer

Active transport only absorbs nutrients along their concentration gradient

Answer

Active transport is not involved in nutrient absorption

Active transport

Answer

Osmosis

Answer

Passive transport

Answer

Facilitated diffusion
