The ability of the cell to move materials to specific locations within the cell is known as:
A) Cell trafficking
B) Cell motility
C) Flagellar motion
D) Phagocytosis
E) None of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell trafficking refers to the ability of a cell to transport materials to specific locations within the cell using a variety of mechanisms, such as vesicles, microtubules, and motor proteins. This is a fundamental process in many cellular functions, including protein synthesis, signal transduction, and organelle maintenance. Cell motility, flagellar motion, and phagocytosis are all related to movement, but do not specifically refer to the transport of materials within the cell.
