Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active transport is the type of transport that requires specific carrier molecules and energy to move molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion also requires specific carrier molecules but does not require energy and moves molecules down a concentration gradient. Exocytosis and endocytosis are mechanisms for moving large molecules or groups of molecules in or out of a cell, but do not require specific carrier molecules or energy. Osmosis refers specifically to the movement of water molecules across a membrane and does not require carrier molecules or energy.
