26
Q

Freeze-fracture

A
  • rapid freezing and cracking.
  • uneven splitting of lumps and holes
  • proteins are embedded inside of the membrane. Like the chocolate with jellybeans
  • Done by davson danieli
27
Q

Endocytosis

A
  • Taking in of nutrients outside of the cell
    • Can be split into phagocytosis and pinocytosis
    • Phagocytosis is when Phagocytes engulf a pathogen
