Question

complete the following paragraph to explain the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis

active
pinocytosis
passive
out
endocytosis
exocytosis
into
phagocytosis

during ______ a portion of the plasma membrane pinches off to form an intracellular vesicle.

the form of endocytosis in which a white blood cell engulfs bacteria so it can be destroyed is called ______.

both exocytosis and endocytosis are examples of ______ transport.

Explanation:

First Blank:

Endocytosis is the process where the plasma membrane pinches in to form an intracellular vesicle to bring substances into the cell. So the term for this process is endocytosis.

Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis where large particles (like bacteria) are engulfed, and white blood cells use phagocytosis to engulf bacteria for destruction. So the form of endocytosis here is phagocytosis.

Both exocytosis (transporting substances out) and endocytosis (transporting substances in) require energy, so they are examples of active transport (as passive transport does not require energy and includes processes like diffusion, osmosis).

Answer:

endocytosis
