Question
eukaryotic cells continually ingest bits of their plasma membrane, along with small amounts of extracellular fluid. the lost pieces of membrane are replaced by what process? choose one: endocytosis exocytosis phagocytosis pinocytosis
Exocytosis is the process by which cells transport vesicles out of the cell, fusing them with the plasma membrane. This replenishes the plasma - membrane pieces lost during endocytosis (including pinocytosis and phagocytosis which are types of endocytosis). Endocytosis involves taking substances into the cell, while exocytosis is the reverse process for membrane replacement.
