Question: is phagocytosis a type of exocytosis?
Answer: The three main types of exocytosis are phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Pinocytosis is non-specific. Phagocytosis targets large structures (e.g., bacteria, food particles…) and is not particularly specific. ... Exocytosis is typically the secretion of large molecules.
