| active transport | requires a cell to expend energy |
| sodium-potassium pump | a type of carrier protein- it trasports Na+ ions and K+ ions up their concentration gradients |
| endocytosis | the process by which cells ingest external fluid, macromolecules and large particles including other cells |
| vesicle | the external materials enclosed by a portion of the cells membrane which folds into a pouch. then jumps off the cell and becomes a membrane bound organelles |
| pinocytosis | involves the transport of solutes or fluids |
| phagocytosis | the movement of large particles or whole cells |
| phagocytes | allow lysosomes to fuse with the vesticle that contain the ingested bacteria and viruses |
| exocytosis | the process by which a substance is relased from the cell through a vesicle that transports the substance to the cell surface and ten fuses with the membrane to let the substance out of the cell (the reverse of endocytosis) |
