Question

Eukaryotic cells are continually taking up materials from the extracellular space by the process of endocytosis. One type of endocytosis is __________________, which uses __________________ proteins to form small vesicles containing fluids and molecules. After these vesicles have pinched off from the plasma membrane, they will fuse with the __________________, where materials that are taken into the vesicle are sorted. A second type of endocytosis is __________________, which is used to take up large vesicles that can contain microorganisms and cellular debris. Macrophages are especially suited for this process, as they extend __________________ (sheetlike projections of their plasma membrane) to surround the invading microorganisms.

Answer 1

The correct words that fills the gaps are: pinocytosis; clathrin; endosome; phagocytosis; pseudopods.

Step-by-step explanation:

The eukaryotic cell The term eukaryotic refers to a true nucleus, separated from the rest of the cell. Eukaryotic organisms include algae, protozoa, fungi, plants, and animals. This group of organisms has a mitotic apparatus, which are cellular structures that participate in a type of nuclear division called mitosis and other organelles responsible for specific functions, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and chloroplasts.

Eukaryotic cells have a compartmentalized cytoplasm, with separated or interconnected membrane organelles, limited by biological membranes that are of the same essential nature as the plasma membrane.

The nucleus is only the most notable and characteristic of the compartments into which the protoplasm is divided, that is, the active part of the cell. In the protoplasm we distinguish three main components, namely the plasma membrane, the nucleus and the cytoplasm, constituted by everything else.

Eukaryotic cells are equipped in their cytoplasm with a complex, highly structured and dynamic cytoskeleton, formed by microtubules and various protein filaments. There may also be a cell wall, which is typical of plants, fungi and multicellular protists, or some other type of coating external to the protoplasm.
