Exam 2: Foundations: The Cell

The continual movement and exchange of vesicles to and from the plasma membrane is called ________.

A passive process wherein carrier molecules transport materials down concentration gradients across a membrane is called osmosis.

As the Golgi apparatus loses membrane through generation of vesicles at the cis face, it gains membrane by the fusion of transport vesicles at the trans face.
