Based on the analysis of the two diagrams in the worksheet, here is the solution to the labeling task:
The worksheet asks you to label the diagrams using the terms from the word bank: *endocytosis, exocytosis, facilitated diffusion, phagocytosis, pinocytosis*.
-
Diagram on the Left: This diagram illustrates a process where vesicles inside the cell move to and fuse with the plasma membrane, releasing their contents (represented by small dots) into the extracellular space. This is the definition of
exocytosis. It is the mechanism cells use to expel materials, such as secretory proteins or waste products.
-
Diagram on the Right: This diagram shows a large particle (labeled "Food") outside the cell being engulfed by the cell membrane, which then pinches off to form an internal vesicle. This process of engulfing large solid particles is called
phagocytosis, which is a specific type of endocytosis. The label "Phagocytosis" is already provided in the diagram, confirming this identification.
Therefore, the correct labels for the diagrams are:
-
Left Diagram: Exocytosis
-
Right Diagram: Phagocytosis
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of passive transport worksheet.
