Chapter 4.5, Problem 6MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which exocytosis and endocytosis use vesicles to transport materials across cell membranes.
Concept introduction:
The exocytosis is the process in which a vesicle which delivers substances to the cell membrane. This vesicle then attaches or gets fused with the membrane and then it releases its material or cargo to the outside of the cell. Endocytosis is the process in which cell surrounds and intakes liquid or big particles inside itself.
