Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of transport best describes the cell membrane of a paramecium moving to engulf a food particle?
A
exocytosis
B
active transport
C
diffusion
D
endocytosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This process of engulfing or taking in a matter by the projections or invaginations of the cell membrane to form a vacuole is called endocytosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phagocytosis. Phagocytosis (literally, “cell eating”) is a form of endocytosis in which large particles, such as cells or cellular debris, are transported into the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -During phagocytosis, cells engulf large particles such as bacteria, cell debris, or even intact cells (Figure 12.34).

Detailed explanation-4: -Phagocytosis is a special form of endocytosis in which large particles such as microorganisms and dead cells are ingested via large endocytic vesicles called phagosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -What type of transport involves the cell engulfing matter from the outside environment? Explanation: Phagocytosis is the event of a cell engulfing particular matter from outside the cell and bringing it into the cell.
