ii. State the direction of water flow between the 2 cells &
give a reason for your answer.
Cell A, = s + p
= -2200 + 1000
= -1200
Cell B, = s + p

ENDOCYTOSIS
- Uptake of bulk substances into a cell through membrane
- Requires ATP energy
- Vesicle are formed by the invagination of the cell surface
membrane to surround the substance
- The VESICLE then fuse with other Organelles
(LYSOSOMES) or Release its contents into the Cytoplasm.
- If substance taken up is solid, it is known as phagocytosis
-If substance taken up is liquid, it is known as pinocytosis
