Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When cells form a vesicle to take in materials, which form of transport is occurring?
A
Endocytosis
B
Exocytosis
C
Facilitated Diffusion
D
Osmosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in substances from outside of the cell by engulfing them in a vesicle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endocytosis. Endocytosis (endo = internal, cytosis = transport mechanism) is a general term for the various types of active transport that move particles into a cell by enclosing them in a vesicle made out of plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of vesicle transport, endocytosis and exocytosis (illustrated in Figure below). Both processes are active transport processes, requiring energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two main kinds of endocytosis: Phagocytosis, or cellular eating, occurs when the dissolved materials enter the cell. The plasma membrane engulfs the solid material, forming a phagocytic vesicle.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
