Endocytosis Flashcards
Phagocytosis
Taking a relatively large particles such as bundles of chemicals or entire sales
Example of phagocytosis
an amoeba feeding
Lysosomes
Vesicles in the cell that function specifically to digest food and unwanted particles
Phagosomes + Lysosomes
Phagolysosome
Chemotaxis
Chemical signals attract the cell to the pathogen
Adherence
Receptor proteins on the cell buying to the pathogen
Ingestion
The pathogen is brought into the cell inside the vesicle via endocytosis
Digestion
Fusing a lysosome to the phagosome delivers enzymes that digest the pathogen
Elimination
unabsorbed and undigested material is expelled by exocytosis
Pinocytosis
Brings small molecules and liquids liquids into the cell (cell drinking)
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Brings in specific molecules using a receptor
Phagocytosis
In golf large molecules
