Endocytosis is the process used by a cell to absorb molecules and is used by all cells in the human body. There are three different types of endocytosis: Phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Why might a cell use endocytosis rather than carrier protein?

A cell might use endocytosis instead of a carrier protein to uptake larger molecules or particles that cannot pass through the membrane via facilitated diffusion. Endocytosis allows the cell to engulf substances by forming a vesicle around them, which is particularly useful for nutrients, pathogens, or large macromolecules. Additionally, endocytosis can enable the uptake of multiple molecules simultaneously, providing a more efficient means of intake compared to the specificity and capacity limits of carrier proteins.


Do cells use exocytosis to swallow up solid particle like bacteria?

False. They use endocytosis or phagocytosis for large particles.


What kind of particles are moved in endocytosis?

In endocytosis, cells internalize substances by engulfing them in vesicles. This process involves the movement of various particles, including ions, small molecules, proteins, and entire viruses or bacteria, into the cell through invagination of the cell membrane. Each type of endocytosis, such as phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis, facilitates the uptake of specific particles based on the mechanism involved.


What do chloroplasts use to produce nutrients for plant cells and some protist cells?

They use CO2 and H2O.Glucose and O2 are produced.


The use of energy by a cell to enclose a substance in its membrane by forming a vacuole and engulfing it is called?

The process you are describing is called endocytosis. Endocytosis is a cellular process where cells engulf substances by forming a vesicle or vacuole around the material and bringing it into the cell.
