Answer;
-Endocytosis
Explanation;
-Endocytosis includes; phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor mediated: Endocytosis brings substances into the cell, plasma membrane surrounds the substances to be taken in, encloses them in a membrane-bound sac (vesicle) and brings them into the cell
-Phagocytosis: endocytosis of large solid particles (“cell eating”)
-Pinocytosis: endocytosis of extracellular fluid that contains dissolved solutes (“cell drinking”)
-Receptor-mediated: highly selective, ligands bind to specific receptor proteins on the plasma membrane and are then taken into the cell
-Exocytosis: the reverse of endocytosis: substances are removed from the cell; vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and release their contents into the extracellular fluid; important in nerve cells to release neurotransmitter and secretory cells to release cell products (ex. digestive enzymes, protein hormones).
The Prostate gland
The prostate is a walnut-sized organ that surrounds the
first part of the urethra. It is located between the bladder and the penis. Semen
is formed by the prostate by combining a thick white fluid it initially produced
with the sperm from the testicles. It also produces an antibiotic protein known
as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) that changes the semen into liquid.
