Question
Cellular uptake of biological molecules and particulate matter via formation of vesicles from the plasma membrane.Group of answer choicesendocytosisautophagyfacilitated diffusionplasmolysisexocytosis
Solution
The process described is endocytosis. This is a form of active transport where a cell transports molecules into the cell by engulfing them in an energy-using process. The plasma membrane folds inwards to form a vesicle containing the substance to be transported. The vesicle is then transported into the cell's interior.
