During endocytosis a vesicle may fuse with a lysosome how would that help the cell digest the food particles?
The process that moves materials into cells is called endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell membrane surrounds particles or substances outside the cell, forming a vesicle. The vesicle then fuses with the cell membrane and releases its contents into the cell.
Endocytosis During endocytosis a small patch of plasma membrane folds in and encloses particles or tiny volumes of fluid at the cell surface.The membrane enclosure then pinches off into the cytoplasm,thereby forming a cytoplasmic vesicle
In endocytosis, molecules or other particles that are too large to enter a cell by diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active transport are conveyed within a vesicle formed from a section of the cell membrane. This process uses cellular energy.

This suggests that the cell membrane is a dynamic structure that can bend and invaginate to form vesicles during endocytosis. It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environments (inside and outside) and hydrophobic tails sandwiched in between. The ability of the cell membrane to undergo endocytosis implies its flexibility and capability to change shape.
chemical energy that is contained in and transported by the molecule called (ATP) Adenosin Tri Phosphate.
Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis. It is also known as cell eating, wherein the cell ingests or engulfs large particles.
This is called endocytosis.
Cells perform endocytosis through membrane movement. Endocytosis is a type of Bulk Transport, which involves the movement of larger particles (vesicles) through the membrane in and out. Endocytosis involves Phagocytosis or Pintocytosis. Phagocytosis: when cells engulf particles via pseudopodia ("false feet"), which is packaged in the membrane into an enclosed sac, and once inside the cell, it becomes a vacuole. Pintocytosis: when cells GULP extracellular fluids and makes them into vesicles. The fluids are unimportant but gulped anyway for the molecules within it.
Using endocytosis or exocytosis. A part of the plasma membrane known creates a "vesicle" around the piece of protein and brings it inside the cell. The opposite occurs during exocytosis. Think ex = exit and en = enter.
