Endocytosis
Endocytosis
The contractile vacuole collects water, then pumps it out of the cell. It requires energy to be expended, so it is a type of active transport.
Substances enter and leave cells through processes such as diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and endocytosis/exocytosis. Once inside the cell, substances can become distributed within cells through diffusion, cytoplasmic streaming, vesicular transport, and interactions with organelles.
Proteins are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus through small vesicles that bud off from the ER and fuse with the Golgi membrane. This process is called vesicular transport and is essential for the proper functioning of the cell.
Proteins are transported to the Golgi apparatus through a process called vesicular transport. This involves the proteins being packaged into vesicles at the endoplasmic reticulum and then transported to the Golgi apparatus where they are further processed and sorted for distribution within the cell.
Endocytosis
Yes, phagocytosis is an example of vesicular transport. It is a process in which cells engulf large particles or other cells by forming a vesicle around the material and bringing it into the cell for digestion or processing.
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.

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.
Two types of vesicular transport are exocytosis and endocytosis. Exocytosis involves the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane to release their contents outside the cell, while endocytosis is the process by which cells internalize substances by engulfing them in vesicles. These mechanisms are crucial for cellular communication, nutrient uptake, and waste removal.
Active transport requires energy to move molecules across a cell membrane, typically against a concentration gradient. This process is vital for maintaining proper internal conditions within a cell. Examples of active transport mechanisms include pumps and vesicular transport.
There are many different processes that are controlled by the plasma membrane aka as the cell membrane.Selective Permeable -- this means that only certain things will be allowed to enter or to leave the cell membrane.Active transport -- this process is where ATP is required. An example of this type of transport is when there is particles that are too large to passively go through the membrane will need to be carried by glucose, and through protein carriers.Passive transport -- this is where no actual ATP is required, it flows quite freely through the membrane. One example of this type is diffusion.
Substances enter and leave cells through processes such as diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and endocytosis/exocytosis. Once inside the cell, substances can become distributed within cells through diffusion, cytoplasmic streaming, vesicular transport, and interactions with organelles.
Vesicular release is a process by which neurotransmitters or other signaling molecules are released from synaptic vesicles in neurons in response to an action potential. This process involves the fusion of the vesicle membrane with the presynaptic membrane, allowing the release of the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
Phagocytosis and degradation of red blood cells by macrophages primarily occurs in the spleen, although it can also happen in the liver and bone marrow. This process is important for removing old or damaged red blood cells from circulation and recycling their components.
The process by which substances enter and exit the cell is called cellular transport. It primarily occurs through two main mechanisms: passive transport, which does not require energy, and active transport, which requires energy expenditure by the cell. Examples of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis, while examples of active transport include endocytosis and exocytosis.
