Is exocytosis an example of active transport?


Open in App
Solution

Exocytosis:

  1. Exocytosis is referred to the movement of molecules out of the cell.
  2. This occurs with the help of adenosine triphosphate(ATP).

Active Transport:

  1. This is a biological process in which the molecules move against the concentration gradient & require chemical energy to move biochemical compounds from the lower region to the high region.
  2. Therefore, this process uses ATP – Adenosine triphosphate to pump molecules through a concentration gradient.
  3. Yes, exocytosis is an example of active transport.
