In endocytosis

, molecules or other particles that are too large to enter a cell by diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active transport are conveyed within a vesicle formed from a section of the cell membrane. This process uses cellular energy.

What is endocytosis describe how they work?

Endocytosis is a cellular process in which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) by engulfing them into vesicles formed from the cell membrane. There are different types of endocytosis such as phagocytosis (engulfing solid particles), pinocytosis (engulfing liquid components), and receptor-mediated endocytosis (specific molecules are taken up after binding to receptors on the cell surface). Once the vesicle is formed, it moves to the interior of the cell for further processing.


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.


Is endocytosis a form of passive or active transport?

Endocytosis is a form of active transport.


Are endocytosis and exocytosis passive or active processes?

Endocytosis and exocytosis are active processes.


In which process does a portion of the cell membrane fold inward and surround molecules to bring them into the cell?

This process is called endocytosis. It involves the formation of a vesicle from the cell membrane to engulf molecules and bring them into the cell. Endocytosis can occur through various mechanisms such as phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.


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 is it called when a part of a cell membrane closes around a molecule to allow the molecule to enter the cell?

This is called endocytosis.
