Endocytosis and Exocytosis

What are the two types of endocytosis?

Phagocytosis (movement of solids) and pinocytosis (movement of liquids).

What is phagocytosis?

The movement of solids like cells or large proteins into the cell.

What is pinocytosis?

The movement of liquids into the cell.

What is the process of endocytosis?

The cell membrane extends around the particles being taken into the cell, fusing to form a vesicle.

What is exocytosis?

The mechanism by which large particles like enzymes and hormones are secreted from cells.

How does exocytosis work?

A vesicle containing particles migrates to the cell membrane, fuses with it, and releases the particles outside the cell.
