Question

question 13 (7 points)
which process is best represented by the diagram.
○ a endocytosis
○ b active transport
○ c exocytosis
○ d lysis

Explanation:

• Endocytosis: It is a process where cells engulf substances from the outside environment by forming vesicles. The diagram shows the cell membrane wrapping around a substance and taking it into the cell, which is characteristic of endocytosis.
• Active transport: Involves the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient using energy (e.g., ATP). This diagram does not show the use of energy for moving molecules across a membrane.
• Exocytosis: Is the opposite of endocytosis, where vesicles fuse with the cell membrane to release substances outside the cell. The diagram shows uptake, not release.
• Bioremediation: Is the use of living organisms (usually microbes) to clean up environmental pollutants. This has no relation to the cellular process shown in the diagram.

Answer:

a. endocytosis
