31. The process of endocytosis (phagocytosis and pinocytosis) is a major mechanism for internalizing bulk materials that occurs

A. Exclusively across the plant cell wall
B. Across the flexible plasma membrane of animal cells
✓
C. Inside the lumen of the central vacuole
D. Within the matrix of the chloroplast stroma

📝 Explanation

The rigid plant cell wall serves as a physical barrier that prevents the invagination of the plasma membrane required for endocytosis.
