QUESTION
Pinocytosis is otherwise known is?
OPTIONS
(A) Vesicular transport
(B) Convective transport
(C) Pore transport
(D) All of the above
ANSWER
(A) Vesicular transport
EXPLANATION
Vesicular transport is the correct option because pinocytosis is a form of endocytosis in which the cell takes up extracellular fluid and dissolved substances through small membrane vesicles. Convective transport involves bulk movement driven by pressure or fluid flow, pore transport occurs through membrane channels or pores, and therefore “All of the above” is incorrect.
