Question

Endocytosis of discrete particles is called ____ while endocytosis of liquids is called ____.

1) Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis
2) Pinocytosis, Phagocytosis
3) Exocytosis, Endocytosis
4) Endocytosis, Exocytosis

Answer 1

Endocytosis of particles is called phagocytosis, and endocytosis of liquids is called pinocytosis; the correct answer is phagocytosis and pinocytosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Endocytosis of discrete particles is called phagocytosis, while endocytosis of liquids is called pinocytosis. Therefore, the correct answer is 1) Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis. Phagocytosis is often used by immune cells to engulf and digest large particles, such as pathogens or cellular debris. Pinocytosis, on the other hand, involves the engulfment of extracellular fluid containing dissolved substances, resulting in the formation of smaller vesicles than those formed during phagocytosis.
