dur ing pin o cy to sis are very small, their diam e ters gen er -
al ly vary between 100 and 200 nanom e ters. For that rea -
son, they are vis i ble only under an elec tron micro scope.
Immediately after these sacs are formed inside the
cells, by either meth od, pha go cy to sis and pin o cy to sis,
one or more lysos o mes com bine with the sac and trans fer
into the sac var i ous enzymes inside them selves. In this
way, a diges tive sac is formed inside which sub stan ces
are bro ken down. As a result of the diges tive proc ess,
small mol e cu les are formed such as amino acid, glu cose
and phos phate, which are dis sem i nat ed into the intra cel -
lu lar fluid. Lysosomes may there fore be called the cell's
diges tive organs.
Pinocytosis is the chief meth od by which very large
mol e cu les can enter the cell. Most pro teins, for instance,
enter in this way. However, how the nec es sa ry chan ges
come about for the cell mem brane to assume the form of
such a sac is still a mys tery. All the meth ods by which
use ful sub stan ces are brought inside the cell have been
flaw less ly cre at ed. But how did this spe cial meth od come
into being, per mit ting large mol e cu les that can not be
absorbed by any other means to enter the cell? How do
large mol e cu les know that they must bind to recep tors
that will bring them inside? How do recep tors in the cell
mem brane recog nize the large mol e cu les that need to be
absorbed? This is not some thing that can be explained in
terms of coin ci den ces.
Never for get, the perfect behav ior being described is
