Question

The endocytotic process in which small vesicles of fluid are brought into the cell is called
A) phagocytosis.
B) pinocytosis.
C) exocytosis.
D) xenocytosis.
E) receptor-mediated endocytosis

Accepted Answer

Pinocytosis is the process by which small vesicles of fluid are brought into the cell. Phagocytosis is the process by which large particles or cells are engulfed by the cell. Exocytosis is the process by which molecules are transported out of the cell. Xenocytosis is not a known biological process. Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a specific type of endocytosis in which molecules bind to specific receptors on the cell surface before being internalized.
