Endocytosis is the process by which Bulky Molecules enter the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Endocytosis is the process by which eukaryotic cells take up large molecules into their cytoplasm.
  • The large molecules that cannot enter the cell through protein channels of the plasma membrane are carried into the cell in membrane bound vessicles.
  • The vessicles are formed by progressive invagination of the cell membrane and then pinching off after the molecule is trapped.
  • Endocytosis has been classified as phagocytosis (cell eating) and pinnocytosis(cell drinking).
