What is endocytosis's concentration gradient?
Yes - as endocytosis requires energy.
The process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding of the cell membrane?
Endocytosis is the process of a cell 'engulfing' material by foldings of the cell membrane.
Which is not a kind of endocytosis phagocytosis pinocytosis receptor-mediated endocytosis osmosis?
osmosis
Which form of endocytosis involves a receptor?
which form(s) of endocytosis involves a receptor
What is the process when large molecules bind to receptors on the plasma membrane and are then engulfed by the cell called?
receptor-meditated endocytosis
What is the definition Endocytosis?
The official definition of the word endocytosis is "the taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole."
What is the definition if endocytosis?
The official definition of the word endocytosis is "the taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole."
Why does endocytosis occur only in animal cells and not in plant cell?
The endocytosis only occurs in animal cells because plant cells don't have cell membranes they have cell walls. And the definition of endocytosis is " a process when a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicles to bring it to the cell." so a plant cell can't do that only animal cells can.
How do you make a sentence endocytosis?
endocytosis is a part of biology
What is endocytosis's concentration gradient?
Yes - as endocytosis requires energy.
The process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings of the cell membrane?
endocytosis.
What is the difference between endocytosis and phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is a kind of endocytosis. Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis. These are just different ways to enter large molecules inside the cell.
What occurs when the plasma membrane surrounds a large substance outside the cell and moves it inside the cell?
The process you are talking of is referred to as 'endocytosis', which is bulk transport into the cell.
The process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding of the cell membrane?
Endocytosis is the process of a cell 'engulfing' material by foldings of the cell membrane.
Can hormones enter a cell through endocytosis?
receptor-mediated endocytosis
What type endocytosis engulfing of fluid in membrane vesicles?
fluid=pinocytosis particle=phagocytosis
Which form of endocytosis involves a receptor?
which form(s) of endocytosis involves a receptor
