Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Vesicular transport
Active transport processes, such as primary active transport, secondary active transport, and vesicular transport, require the cell to expend energy in the form of ATP. These processes enable the movement of molecules or ions against their concentration gradients or across membranes.
No, vesicular transport and solute pumps are two different mechanisms. Vesicular transport involves the movement of materials within vesicles, while solute pumps use energy to actively transport solutes across a cell membrane.

Yes, phagocytosis is an example of vesicular transport. It is a process in which cells engulf large particles or other cells by forming a vesicle around the material and bringing it into the cell for digestion or processing.
Flu viruses enter cells through endocytosis, a process where the cell engulfs the virus in a vesicle formed from the cell membrane. Diphtheria toxin enters cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a cell surface receptor and is internalized. Cholera toxin is taken up by clathrin-dependent endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a receptor on the cell surface and is internalized in clathrin-coated vesicles.
Vesicular transport is an active process in which materials move into or out of the cell enclosed as vesicles. Vesicles are bubble-like structures surrounded by a membrane. They can form at the cell membrane or can fuse with the membrane. Solid particles, droplets of fluid or many molecules at a time can be moved across the membrane in vesicles. Vesicular transport is also known as bulk transport because large quantities of materials can be transported in this way. Th ere are two basic types of vesicular transport-endocytosis and exocytosis.
Exocytosis is the vesicular transport method that expels material from the cell. It involves the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell.
Vesicular transport is an active process that requires energy in the form of ATP to move substances into or out of a cell using vesicles.
Substances and structures are transported within the cell through processes such as diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and vesicular transport. Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion uses protein channels to help substances across the cell membrane. Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Vesicular transport involves the formation of vesicles that transport substances within or out of the cell.
