The described process of attracting a solute to a binding site, changing shape, and releasing the solute on the other side of the cell membrane is characteristic of carrier-mediated transport. Endocytosis involves the engulfment of material by the cell membrane, sodium and potassium pump involves the active transport of ions, and channel-mediated transport involves the passive movement of ions or molecules through a channel.
