A Bulk Sales Affidavit Form is used by a seller of a business to inform the buyer of all creditors of the business and the amount of their claims against the business. Generally, failure to comply with the Bulk Sales or Transfers Act portion of the Uniform Commercial Code will mean that original creditors of a seller will have a lien against the assets and inventory which are transferred to the buyer.

Definition: Bulk transport is a mode of transport of large quantities of materials and food particles across the membrane. It occurs both inward and outward. It is achieved with the help of carrier molecules.
Endocytosis. Endocytosis is a type of active transport that moves particles, such as large molecules, parts of cells, and even whole cells, into a cell.
Substances that can move via bulk transport are like hormones, polysaccharides, etc. An example of this is the engulfing of pathogens by phagocytes (endocytosis), then the release of the hydrolysed pieces of the pathogen outside the cell by exocytosis.
During bulk transport, larger substances or large packages of small molecules are transported through the cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, by way of vesicles – think of vesicles as little membrane sacs that can fuse with the cell membrane. Cell membranes are comprised of a lipid bilayer.
The methods of transport that are considered to be bulk transport involve the movement of large particles or large quantities of small molecules into or out of cells, typically via vesicles. The bulk transport methods mentioned in your question include receptor-mediated endocytosis, pinocytosis, and phagocytosis.
Endocytosis and exocytosis are the bulk transport mechanisms used in eukaryotes. As these transport processes require energy, they are known as active transport processes.
Bulk transport encompasses both exocytosis and endocytosis.
Like the active transport processes that move ions and small molecules via carrier proteins, bulk transport is an energy-requiring (and, in fact, energy-intensive) process. Here, we'll look at the different modes of bulk transport: phagocytosis, pinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and exocytosis.
For instance, a macrophage engulfs its pathogen dinner by extending membrane "arms" around it and enclosing it in a sphere of membrane called a food vacuole (where it is later digested). Macrophages provide a dramatic example of bulk transport, and the majority of cells in your body don't engulf whole microorganisms.
Vesicle function in endocytosis and exocytosis During bulk transport, larger substances or large packages of small molecules are transported through the cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, by way of vesicles – think of vesicles as little membrane sacs that can fuse with the cell membrane.
