They're both types of active transport that are the intake of something into a cell. Khan Academy has a great article on this. I recommend checking that out.

➡️Pinocytosis is the absorption of liquids, whereas phagocytosis is the absorption of solid objects which are essentially food for the cell.✔️

➡️Both pinocytosis and phagocytosis are types of endocytosis. ✔️

➡️Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb molecules by engulfing them.✔️

➡️These molecules often include proteins and other substances which are important for the cell’s existence. ✔️

➡️The process of endocytosis is used by all cells as the molecules are large polar molecules that cannot pass through the hydrophobic plasma or cell membrane.✔️

Pinocytosis

➡️It is the absorption of liquids, whereas phagocytosis is the absorption of solid objects which are essentially food for the cell. Almost all cells perform pinocytosis, however phagocytosis is performed only by specialized cells that protect tissues by engulfing bacteria, cell debris, and other abnormal materials.✔️

➡️Pinocytosis is essentially the process of absorbing fluid together with its contents into the cell. The cell does this by forming narrow channels through its membrane. These channels surround the liquid and all its contents and then pinch off into vesicles, hence the liquid in successfully absorbed into the cell. The molecules then fuse with lysosomes to hydrolyze or be broken down. The process of pinocytosis requires a lot of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate. This is the chemical compound that is generally used as energy in most cells.✔️

Phagocytosis

➡️It is the process of absorbing and ingestion of particles by the cell and by many protests, such as amoeba to acquire nutrients. ✔️

➡️The absorption process is similar to pinocytosis, except that instead of liquid the absorbed substance are essential nutrients, which are surrounded by channel and then pinch off into vesicles. The nutrients are then fused with lysosomes and broken down by enzymes. Any and all waste material is then expelled from the cell.✔️

Lysosomes can be compared to the recycling and garbage centers of a city. How can this comparison be justified?

Ivan

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. Lysosomes can be compared to the recycling and garbage centers of a city. This can be justified since they <span>digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.</span>

Which of the following nitrogen bases is unique to RNA?

Shkiper50 [21]

<h2>Answer</h2>

The right option is (A).

<h2>Explanation</h2>

The RNA gets its information from DNA to synthesise the proteins. It is different from DNA also due to the difference in one nitrogen basis as uracil. The thymine, the nitrogen basis that is only present in DNA is replaced with uracil to form RNA coding. The uracil also contains the same features as thymine has in DNA strains. Uracil makes a double H-bond with the adenine but does not contain CH4 group which is present in thymine.

Answer:

The foxes would have brown fur all year long.

Explanation:

The foxes would have brown fur all year because the change in the environment will not occur. If the change not occur in the climatic conditions, then the foxes did not change the colour of the fur so the brown colour remains for all year long. The colour of fur changes when the change in climate occurs so if there is no change in the climate so change occur in fur colour of foxes.
