Question

Which term identifies the process used by the cell to bring in large molecules?

Answer 1

Endocytosis is the process  used by the cell to bring in large molecules.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be-endocytosis

Explanation:

A cell posses hydrophobic layer called plasma membrane which contains transmembrane proteins to transport the molecules in and out of the cells. These trans-membrane proteins allow only the passage of small molecules like ions, glucose.

But the macro-molecules having high molecular weight cannot pass the plasma membrane so they can enter the cell by a complex process called endocytosis.

The endocytosis helps engulf the large molecule by surrounding the particle and then invagination of the plasma membrane inside the cell-mediated by clathrin-coated proteins.

Thus, endocytosis is the correct answer.
