Which process is described as cell eating, taking in cells or relatively large particles?

AExocytosis
BPinocytosis
CPhagocytosis
DPotocytosis
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Phagocytosis
1. Phagocytosis is the condition of cell eating. 2. It is the process by which large particles, such as cells or relatively large particles, are taken in by a cell. 3. Pinocytosis is cell drinking, taking in molecules including water and producing a much smaller vesicle. 4. Exocytosis expels material outward, and potocytosis is a caveolin coated variation of pinocytosis. _Source: OpenStax Biology (1st ed., CC BY 4.0), Ch 5 "Structure and Function of Plasma Membranes", section 5.4 Bulk Transport_
