Which of the following processes includes all of the others?Group of answer choicespinocytosiscostransportexocytosissodium-potassium pumpreceptor-mediated endocytosisendocytosisactive transportphagocytosis
Solution
The process that includes all of the others is "active transport".
Here's why:
-
Active transport is a process that moves ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
-
Pinocytosis, exocytosis, sodium-potassium pump, receptor-mediated endocytosis, endocytosis, and phagocytosis are all types of active transport.
-
Pinocytosis is a type of endocytosis, a form of active transport, in which the cell engulfs droplets of fluid.
-
Exocytosis is the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the
