Endomosis is a term that refers to the process of intracellular transport, where substances are moved from the exterior of a cell to its interior through membrane invagination. This process is often associated with the uptake of nutrients and other molecules necessary for cellular function. It is distinct from other forms of endocytosis, such as phagocytosis and pinocytosis, which involve the engulfing of larger particles or fluids, respectively. Endomosis plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and facilitating various metabolic processes.
