Question

multiple choice question the process of moving large particles or molecules into the cell through pockets made in the plasma membrane is: osmosis endocytosis exocytosis diffusion

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane, so it's not the answer.
  • Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in large particles or molecules by forming pockets (vesicles) from the plasma membrane to bring the substances into the cell.
  • Exocytosis is the process of moving substances out of the cell, not into the cell.
  • Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, usually for small molecules, and doesn't involve pocket formation in the plasma membrane for large particles.

Answer:

B. endocytosis
