Cell Endocytosis Types

Animal cells are prokaryotic cells.

Water makes up 70-80% of the protoplasm in a cell.

The cell membrane is the outermost structure that envelops the cell.

Amoeba and Proteus are examples of prokaryotic cells.

Ribosomes are involved in the synthesis of proteins.

Vacuoles help plants maintain their shape and are involved in waste removal.

Endocytosis is the process of taking particles out of the cell.

The cell membrane is impermeable to non-polar molecules like O2 and CO2.

Plant cells do not contain membrane-bound organelles.

Phagocytosis is the process of taking large amounts of liquid into the cell.

Lysosomes are responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy.

Chromosomes are made of protein and multiple molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Receptor-mediated endocytosis targets the uptake of substances to multiple types of substances that bind to receptors on the external cell membrane.

Phagocytosis is a form of exocytosis where a vesicle migrates to the plasma membrane and releases its contents outside the cell.

Pinocytosis involves the cell membrane surrounding a small volume of fluid and forming a vesicle.

Chloroplasts are responsible for the breakdown of macromolecules and cell membrane repairs.
