Question
Cellular uptake of biological molecules and particulate matter via formation of vesicles from the plasma membrane.Group of answer choicesexocytosisendocytosisplasmolysisautophagyfacilitated diffusion
Solution
The process described is endocytosis. This is the process by which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) from outside the cell by engulfing it with their cell membrane. It is used by all cells of the body because most substances important to them are large polar molecules that cannot pass through the hydrophobic plasma or cell membrane.
