Endocytosis is NOT an example of diffusion. It is an example of active transport whereas diffusion is a type of passive transport. The difference lies in the fact that diffusion does not require energy to take place, and endocytosis does.
Yes, endocytosis does not occur in prokaryotes because they lack membrane-bound organelles and do not perform phagocytosis, pinocytosis, or receptor-mediated endocytosis like eukaryotic cells. Instead, prokaryotes rely on other mechanisms such as simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport to take in nutrients and molecules.
Via endocytosis, active transport and facilitated passive transport and diffusion.
Diffusion of AIDS is an example of contagious diffusion, where the disease spreads through direct or indirect contact between individuals.
Materials can enter a cell through passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and endocytosis. In passive diffusion, molecules move across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins to help molecules cross the membrane. Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Endocytosis involves engulfing molecules by the cell membrane and bringing them into the cell.
Diffusion of a concentrated juice in water.
hydrogen bondingANS2:Substances are moved into cells by both active transport and passive transport. An example of active transport is "Endocytosis". An example of passive transport is "Diffusion".
Both, depending on the size of the nutrient. Much of absorption works through either endocytosis or transport of small molecules by simple diffusion. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are both types of passive transport and endocytosis requires energy.

i know a ton about this, learned it last year! Endocytosis is when a cell absorbs a protien by engulfing it. Exocytosis is the oppisite of endocytosis. This is how waste is produced (cell waste). It is the release of cell surface's substances through vesicles. TO remeber which is which just think of exocytosis as the waste is EXITING the cell and endocytosis is protiens ENtering the cell
endocytosis
Endocytosis is a process by which cells engulf external particles or fluid to bring them into the cell. An example of endocytosis is the uptake of nutrients by cells, such as the absorption of fats or proteins from the digestive system.

Yes, the action of a macrophage involves endocytosis. Macrophages are immune cells that engulf and internalize pathogens, cellular debris, and other foreign particles through a process called phagocytosis, which is a type of endocytosis.
Endocytosis.
