Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs a relatively large particle such as a bacterium or a cell debris. Pinocytosis is the process by which a cell takes in small dissolved molecules and exocytosis is the process by which a cell releases materials outside of the cell. Receptor-mediated endocytosis is the process by which specific molecules are taken up by a cell using receptors on the cell membrane. None of these are specifically designed to engulf large particles like phagocytosis.
