Solution
The correct option is B Endocytosis
Endocytosis is the process in which cells absorb molecules by engulfing them. The cell membrane engulfs food and other materials by endocytosis. The plasma membrane creates a small deformation inward, called as an invagination, in which the substance to be transported is captured. The deformation then pinches off from the membrane on the inside of the cell, creating a vesicle containing the captured substance. Endocytosis is a pathway for internalizing solid particles, small molecules and ions and macromolecules. Endocytosis requires energy and is thus, a form of active transport.Thus, the correct answer is 'Endocytosis'.
