What is the difference between the phagocytosis and exocytosis?

Answer 1

Phagocytosis(active transport and part of endocytosis) is the process by which a cell-often a phagocyte or a protist-engulfs a solid particle to form an internal vesicle known as a phagosome, HOWEVER, Exocytosis is a form of active transport in which a cell transports molecules (such as proteins) out of the cell.

Answer 2

Autophagy occurs when lysosomes engulfs and digests components of it's own cell. (ie-damaged organelles)

Phagocytosis occurs when a substance is included into the cell from the outside by means of a vacuole separated from the plasma membrane) and is then digested by the lysosome.

Answer 3

i think autophagy refers to lysosomes digesting damaged mitochondria, where as heterophagy is when they digest bacteria.. that's what my book says and the best i can do for you.

Answer 4

Phagocytosis is a form of endocytosis, by which substances go into a cell. Exocytosis is the opposite; substances go out of a cell.
