12. Endocytosis
    travels from the cell membrane to the nucleus, and then is engulfed by the nucleus, releasing its contents. `Endocytosis` is the process by which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) by engulfing them. It is used by all cells of the body because most substances important to them are large polar...
