Why is endocytosis found is animals only?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Endocytosis refers to invagination of a small region of plasma membrane, forming an interacellular membrane-bound vesicle. It has been observed in many kinds of animal cells, where the plasma membrane is in direct contact with external medium. Endocytosis is not shown by plant cells because a rigid cell wall is present over the plasma membrane in them. Thus, this process is found in animals only.
