What is the process in which the cell surrounds and takes in a substance from its environment by forming a vesicle from the plasma membrane?

What is the vesicle functions?

A vesicle in a cell is a bubble or sac of cell membrane that surrounds materials that need to be transported within or out of the cell.

What is all eukaryotic cells have membrane-covered compartments called that form when part of the cell membrane surrounds an oject and pinches off?

Its the vesicle/transport vacuole.

What is function vesicles?

A vesicle in a cell is a bubble or sac of cell membrane that surrounds materials that need to be transported within or out of the cell.


When a vesicle fuses with the cell membrane to get rid of a particle what happens?

a vesicle does not fuse with the cell membrane. The cell membrane goes through endo- or exocytosis to absorb or eject a substance. In this case, exocytosis occurs, so the cell membrane engulfs the particle, pumps it through the membrane with the help of transport proteins, and then the vesicle breaks off and is gone.


Is vesicle single or double membrane?

The vesicle is a single membrane, where a vacuole is a double membrane.


What book transport process moves materials into cells?

The process that moves materials into cells is called endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell membrane surrounds particles or substances outside the cell, forming a vesicle. The vesicle then fuses with the cell membrane and releases its contents into the cell.


What are the steps involved in exocytosis?

It reorganizes its cytoskeleton to reposition its secretory vesicles at the plasma membrane. The vesicles then fuse to the plasma membrane using a complex interaction between proteins of the vesicle membrane and proteins of the cell membrane, and a realignment of the lipids of the membranes. This creates a fusion pore, which rapidly expands to expose the vesicle contents to the extracellular milieu. This releases the vesicle contents into the extracellular space.


When a cell membrane surrounds a particle encloses it into a vesicle and brings the particle into the cell this is called?

The process is called phagocytosis, which means "cell eating".


What molecules move with endocytosis and exocytosis as opposed to diffusion or active transport?

The difference is that Active transport engulfs the substance by using the cells membrane. Exocytosis engulfs the substance by engulfing it into a vesicle, then bring it into the cell, and Exocytosis releases he substance from a cell by fusion of a vesicle. :)
