What are two types of endocytosis?
A) cellular secretion and solute pumping
B) solute pumping and active transport
C) active transport and phagocytosis
D) phagocytosis and pinocytosis
E) pinocytosis and passive transport

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two types of endocytosis are phagocytosis (engulfing large particles such as bacteria) and pinocytosis (bringing in fluid and small particles). Both of these processes involve the cell membrane wrapping around and engulfing particles or liquids. Option A is incorrect as cellular secretion is a type of exocytosis, and solute pumping is a type of active transport, which is not a type of endocytosis. Option B is incorrect as active transport is a different process from endocytosis, and solute pumping is a type of active transport, not endocytosis. Option C is partly correct as phagocytosis is one of the types of endocytosis, but active transport is not a type of endocytosis. Option E is incorrect as pinocytosis is a type of endocytosis, but passive transport is a different type of process.
