Difference Between Exocytosis and Endocytosis
Exocytosis |
Endocytosis |
Definition |
|
Exocytosis is defined as the process in which cell transports unwanted materials from the cell. | Endocytosis is defined as the transportation of large particles which cannot enter the cell through the non-polar membrane. |
Occurrence |
|
It occurs due to the regulated secretory pathways. | It occurs due to pinocytosis and phagocytosis. |
Process of Transportation |
|
Exocytosis involves the process of transportation of molecules from the cell to the outside of the cell. | Endocytosis involves the process of transportation of macromolecules into the cell from the external environment. |
Cell Formation |
|
Exocytosis involves in the cell formation. | Endocytosis are not involved in cell formation. |
Nutrients |
|
They involved in removing wastes from the cell. | They involved in taking up nutrients into the cell. |
Vesicle Fate |
|
At the end the vesicle are connected with the cell membrane. | At the end the vesicle fuses with the membrane bound organelles. |
Difference Between Exocytosis And Endocytosis
Cell consists of four types of transportation mechanism – Diffusion, active transport, osmosis and bulk transport. The two types of bulk transportation mechanism are known as Exocytosis and Endocytosis. They transport big particles through the plasma membrane from the cell. Exocytosis is the process in which cell transports unwanted materials from the cell while Endocytosis is the transportation of large particles which cannot enter the cell through the non-polar membrane. Endocytosis involves in taking nutrients into the cell whereas exocytosis involves in removing waste from the cell.
