41
Q

VESICULAR TRANSPORT:

A

Endocytosis & Exocytosis

42
Q

Cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell (vesicular transport).

Internalized material is surrounded by an area of cell membrane which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing ingested material.

Controls the composition of the plasma membrane and the cellular response to changes in the external environment.
