Question

what is the process of a cell engulfing large particles, such as food, by wrapping its membrane around it?
endocytosis
exocytosis
osmosis
diffusion
question 10
a cell releases waste materials and other large molecules from its interior to the outside. this process is called:
exocytosis
endocytosis
pinocytosis
diffusion

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • For Question 9:
  • Endocytosis is the process where a cell engulfs large particles (like food) by wrapping its membrane around them.
  • Exocytosis is the opposite (releasing materials out of the cell). Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
  • For Question 10:
  • Exocytosis is when a cell releases waste materials and large molecules from its interior to the outside.
  • Endocytosis is for taking in materials. Pinocytosis is a type of endocytosis (cell drinking). Diffusion is about molecule movement (not specifically for waste release from the cell interior).

Answer:

Question 9: endocytosis
Question 10: exocytosis
