Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Food is moved into the cell by ____
A
endocytosis
B
pinocytosis
C
exocytosis
D
osmosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells ingest fluid, molecules, and particles by endocytosis, in which localized regions of the plasma membrane invaginate and pinch off to form endocytic vesicles. Many of the endocytosed molecules and particles end up in lysosomes, where they are degraded.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with the cell membrane. The membrane folds over the substance and it becomes completely enclosed by the membrane. At this point a membrane-bound sac, or vesicle, pinches off and moves the substance into the cytosol.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endocytosis occurs when a portion of the cell membrane folds in on itself, encircling extracellular fluid and various molecules or microorganisms. The resulting vesicle breaks off and is transported within the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Endocytosis is a type of active transport that moves particles, such as large molecules, parts of cells, and even whole cells, into a cell. There are different variations of endocytosis, but all share a common characteristic: the plasma membrane of the cell invaginates, forming a pocket around the target particle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Exocytosis is a form of bulk transport during which large numbers of molecules are transported out of the cell. In exocytosis, a vesicle (a small, membrane-bound compartment) containing the molecules to be released fuses with the cell membrane, and the contents of the vesicle are expelled.
