Endocytosis is the cellular uptake of biological molecules and particulate matter via formation of new vesicles from the plasma membrane.
Exocytosis is the cellular secretion of biological molecules by the fusion of vesicles containing them with the plasma membrane

SteveEndocytosis is the process by which the cell takes in molecules by engulfing them in vesicles formed from the cell membrane. Exocytosis, on the other hand, is the process by which cells release molecules by fusing vesicles containing the molecules with the cell membrane, thereby expelling the contents outside the cell.

What is the difference between exocytosis and endocytosis in cellular processes?
Exocytosis is the process by which cells release substances outside of the cell, while endocytosis is the process by which cells take in substances from outside the cell by engulfing them in a vesicle.
Are endocytosis and exocytosis passive or active processes?
Endocytosis and exocytosis are active processes.
Are endocytosis and exocytosis forms of active or passive transport?
Endocytosis and exocytosis are forms of active transport.
What combines both exocytosis and endocytosis?
Transcytosis is a cellular process that combines both exocytosis and endocytosis. It involves the uptake of molecules into the cell through endocytosis, their transport across the cell, and then the release of these molecules through exocytosis on the opposite side of the cell.
Do exocytosis and endocytosis require energy for the transportation of molecules?
Yes, both exocytosis and endocytosis require energy for the transportation of molecules.
