Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autophagy is the process by which damaged organelles are engulfed by autophagosomes, which then fuse with lysosomes for degradation and recycling of cellular components. Phagocytosis is the process by which large particles or microorganisms are engulfed and taken into the cell for degradation. Exocytosis is the process by which materials are exported out of the cell. Pinocytosis is the process by which small particles or fluids are engulfed and taken into the cell.
