  2. Cytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytosis

    Mechanism of clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Clathrin-coated pits in endocytosis: The membrane of the cell invaginates using the protein clathrin. The clathrin uses actin to pull together the sides of the plasma membrane and form a vesicle inside the cellular cytosol. Receptor-mediated endocytosis Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a mode of ...

  3. Exocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exocytosis

    Exocytosis and its counterpart, endocytosis, are used by all cells because most chemical substances important to them are large polar molecules that cannot pass through the hydrophobic portion of the cell membrane by passive means. Exocytosis is the process by which a large amount of molecules are released; thus it is a form of bulk transport.

  4. Cell signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_signaling

    Exocytosis is the process by which a large amount of molecules are released; thus it is a form of bulk transport. Exocytosis occurs via secretory portals at the cell plasma membrane called porosomes. Porosomes are permanent cup-shaped lipoprotein structures at the cell plasma membrane, where secretory vesicles transiently dock and fuse to ...

  5. Cell membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_membrane

    Endocytosis requires energy and is thus a form of active transport. 4. Exocytosis: Just as material can be brought into the cell by invagination and formation of a vesicle, the membrane of a vesicle can be fused with the plasma membrane, extruding its contents to the surrounding medium. This is the process of exocytosis.

  6. Endocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocytosis

    Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell. The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane , which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the ingested materials.

  7. Active transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_transport

    Endocytosis and exocytosis are both forms of bulk transport that move materials into and out of cells, respectively, via vesicles. [34] In the case of endocytosis, the cellular membrane folds around the desired materials outside the cell. [35] The ingested particle becomes trapped within a pouch, known as a vesicle, inside the cytoplasm.

  8. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    Endocytosis refers to when substances are taken into the cell, whereas for exocytosis substances are moved from the cell into the extracellular space. Material to be taken-in is surrounded by the plasma membrane, and then transferred to a vacuole. There are two types of endocytosis, phagocytosis (cell eating) and pinocytosis (cell drinking). In ...

  9. Viral entry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_entry

    Endocytosis: The host cell takes in the viral particle through the process of endocytosis, essentially engulfing the virus like it would a food particle. Viral penetration: The viral capsid or genome is injected into the host cell's cytoplasm. Through the use of green fluorescent protein (GFP), virus entry and infection can be visualized in ...
