Cell Transport Mechanisms Quiz

What is the process called when a cell engulfs large molecules to bring them inside?

• Diffusion

• Endocytosis

• Phagocytosis

• Exocytosis

During endocytosis, what does the cell membrane form around the large molecule?

• A channel

• A vesicle

• A pore

• A tunnel

How does phagocytosis differ from endocytosis?

• It uses energy from the cell.

• It occurs only in plant cells.

• It involves the expulsion of particles.

• It specifically targets bacteria and viruses.

What role do macrophages play in phagocytosis?

• They create vesicles.

• They break down bacteria.

• They transport nutrients.

• They expel waste.

What is the purpose of exocytosis in a cell?

• To bring nutrients into the cell

• To expel unwanted particles

• To replicate DNA

• To divide the cell
