The process depicted in the diagram is:
- Acheck_circle
Endocytosis - membrane invagination engulfing extracellular material
- B
Active transport - pumps moving ions
- C
Diffusion - solutes crossing the bilayer directly
- D
Exocytosis - vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane
Explanation
Inward folding of the plasma membrane that captures extracellular cargo into a new internal vesicle is endocytosis.
