exocytosis
pinocytosis
phagocytosis

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is phagocytosis.

Phagocytosis is process in which cell engulfs large fragments of matter, for example, bacteria, mineral particles, dead cells. These fragments form a phagosome which fuses with lysosome and form a phagolysosome. Inside the phagolysosome, enzymes and toxins break down those fragments.

Phagocytosis is actually a specific form of endocytosis. Endocytosis is process in which cell engulfs molecules, such as proteins. Pinocytosis is fluid endocytosis. Exocytosis is the opposite process to endocytosis. In exocytosis cell transport molecules, such as proteins, out of cell.

Which stage is the dominant stage in mosses? Sporophyte Spores Gametophyte Gametes

Answers

The correct answer is - Gametophyte.

Mosses are bryophytes whose life cycle alternates with gametophyte and sporophyte. A gametophyte is haploid and forms the main plant body which is the dominant phase of moss plant. On gametophyte, male and female sex organs develop which produces male and female gametes respectively. After fusion of gametes zygote is formed which develops into sporophyte. The sporophyte is attached and dependent on the gametophyte for the nutrition.
Gametophyte is the dominate stage in mosses
