Solutions
Primary active transport Correct Answer-energy derived from ATP changes the shape of a
transporter protein which pumps a substance across a plasma membrane against its
concentration gradient
Secondary active transport Correct Answer--energy stored (in a hydrogen or sodium
concentration gradient) is used to drive other substances against their own concentration
gradients
-substance is being transported "against its will"
Types of active transport in vesicles Correct Answer--endocytosis
-phagocytosis
-pinocytosis
-exocytosis
-transocytosis
Endocytosis Correct Answer-cell takes up specific ligands that bind to cell surface receptors
into a vesicle
