Description

Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell by engulfing them within a membrane. This mechanism is crucial for nutrient uptake and the removal of cellular debris.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'endocitosis' is a technical term used in cellular biology contexts. Common variants may include colloquial terms like 'absorción celular' or 'captación', which should be avoided in formal medical discussions to maintain clarity.

Example Sentences

EN: Endocytosis is essential for the uptake of nutrients in many types of cells.

ES: La endocitosis es esencial para la captación de nutrientes en muchos tipos de células.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'endocytosis' with 'exocytosis'; mispronouncing 'endocitosis' as 'endocitosis'; using informal terms like 'absorción' in clinical contexts.
