Question

differentiate between endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis and potoocytosis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Phagocytosis and Pinocytosis are similar as they both are engulfing a material.

Phagocytosis is the bulk uptake of solid material where as pinocytosis is the bulk uptake of liquid material and both of them are endocytosis.

Exocytosis means opposite of endocytosis i.e. releasing something out.

Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with the cell membrane, and bringing it into the cell. Exocytosis describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the cell........
