No it's active transport.
Vesicular transport that involves the engulfing of solid particles is known as phagocytosis. During this process, a cell extends its membrane to surround and internalize solid material, forming a vesicle called a phagosome. This mechanism is crucial for immune cells, such as macrophages, to engulf and digest pathogens or debris. Phagocytosis plays a vital role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and defending against infections.
No, vesicular transport and solute pumps are two different mechanisms. Vesicular transport involves the movement of materials within vesicles, while solute pumps use energy to actively transport solutes across a cell membrane.
Vesicular transport is an active process in which materials move into or out of the cell enclosed as vesicles. Vesicles are bubble-like structures surrounded by a membrane. They can form at the cell membrane or can fuse with the membrane. Solid particles, droplets of fluid or many molecules at a time can be moved across the membrane in vesicles. Vesicular transport is also known as bulk transport because large quantities of materials can be transported in this way. Th ere are two basic types of vesicular transport-endocytosis and exocytosis.
Exocytosis is the vesicular transport method that expels material from the cell. It involves the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell.
Cells utilize various types of transport mechanisms to move substances across their membranes, including passive transport, active transport, and vesicular transport. Passive transport, such as diffusion and osmosis, does not require energy and relies on concentration gradients. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradients. Vesicular transport involves the formation of vesicles to transport large molecules or particles into (endocytosis) or out of (exocytosis) the cell.
