Match the type of transport with its description.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcellular transport occurs through the cell, from one end to the other, and involves crossing the cell membrane into the cytosol, crossing the cytosol, and then crossing the membrane on the opposite end.

Answer: B
 Paracellular transport occurs between cells through the tight junctions that connect adjacent cells.

Note: A and D are not accurate descriptions for the given phrase. Secretion refers to the release of substances from a cell, while absorption refers to the uptake of substances into a cell. Neither of these processes necessarily involve movement from one end of a cell to the other.
