Some nutrients and other types of particles can be taken into a cell when the cell's plasma membrane encloses the particles and pinches off, forming a free-floating vesicle inside the cell. A lysosome containing digestive enzymes then fuses with the vesicle. Which term best classifies the uptake of such particles by the cell?

simple diffusion
endocytosis
exocytosis
osmosis
