24.
What happens during the process of endocytosis?
a)
Endocytosis is when the cell membrane changes shape and engulfs the particle.  Once the food particle is submerged, the cell membrane fuses pinching off a vacuole from within the cell. 
b)
Endocytosis is when the cell wall changes shape and engulfs the particle.  After the food particle is gone, the cell wall relaxes and goes back to its job. 
c)
Endocytosis is when the cell membrane changes shape and removes the particle from existance.  
d)
Endocytosis is when the vacuole stores the particles inside.  
25.
What happens during the process of exocytosis?
a)
Exocytosis allows big particles to leave the cell. The cell membrane opens wide, letting all of the big particles go, thinking it is waste. 
b)
Exocytosis allows big particles to leave the cell.  During exocytosis, the vacuole fuses with the cell membrane. Then, the cell membrane forms an opening to the vacuole and spills out the vacuole's contents. 
c)
It is the process when big particles are allowed to leave the cell. The proteins fuse with the cell membrane and so, the cell membrane forms an opening the proteins and spills out the protein's contents. 
d)
Exocytosis is when large particles leave the cell and the cell membrane lets go of as many large particles as possible in 5 minutes, finishing off the process of exocytosis.
