Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phagocytosis is the process of engulfing large particles such as bacteria or cellular debris. Exocytosis is the process of releasing substances out of the cell, receptor-mediated endocytosis is the process of specific molecules being taken up by the cell using receptor proteins, and pinocytosis is the process of taking up small, dissolved substances through invagination of the cell membrane.
