Question

are the following types of cellular transport passive or active? match them correctly
osmosis
exocytosis
facilitated diffusion
diffusion
endocytosis
molecular (sodium potassium) pump
active transport
passive transport

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Passive transport (no energy, down concentration gradient): Osmosis (water diffusion), Facilitated Diffusion (with protein, no energy), Diffusion (molecules spread).
  • Active transport (needs energy, against gradient): Exocytosis (vesicle release), Endocytosis (vesicle uptake), Sodium - Potassium Pump (uses ATP).

Answer:

  • Osmosis → Passive Transport
  • Exocytosis → Active Transport
  • Facilitated Diffusion → Passive Transport
  • Diffusion → Passive Transport
  • Endocytosis → Active Transport
  • Molecular (Sodium Potassium) Pump → Active Transport
