Question

If energy is needed to move materials into or out of a cell, what is most likely occurring?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Endocytosis is an energy-using process by which cells absorb molecules by engulfing them.

Exocytosis is also an energy consuming process by which a cell directs the contents of secretory vesicles out of the cell membrane and into the extracellular space.

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane in the direction against their concentration gradient, i.e., moving from a low concentration to a high concentration and this uses cellular energy.

Passive transports like diffusion do not require additional expenditure of cellular energy during the movement of a substance from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, i.e., along with the concentration gradient.
