exocytosis- particles are expelled from a cell or body- vessicles (sacs) containing the particles fuse with the cell membrane and the contents are expelled
endocytosis- particles are induced within a cell- cell membrane forms around them and takes them in:
* pinocytosis: engulfing of liquid particles
* phagocytosis: engulfing of solid particles (such as a white blood cell engulfing a pathogen)

What is the process by which extensions of cytoplasm engulf large particles called?
Endocytosis:==> Phagocytosis or Pinocytosis. Endocytosis is the name given to the process of cells absorbing molecules. Pinocytosis is intended for small molecules Phagocytosis is for large particles. (larger then ~around 0.75 µm in diameter)
What are Pseudopodia that are broad and are used for locomotion and engulfing food called?
Pseudopodia that are broad and used for locomotion and engulfing food are called lobopodia. These are typically large and rounded extensions of cytoplasm that enable amoeboid cells to move and capture prey.
Which describes engulfing?
Engulfing is to sweep over something. Surround something, or completely cover it.
Process which cells get rid of large particles?
No, a cell lets in a large particle (like a large protein) during endocytosisExocytosis removes large particles
Why do large particles in a rock layer cause less friction?
Large particles have less total surface area, so caused less friction then the smaller particles do...!!
What is the name of The engulfing of large particles?
endocytosis
What process describes a cell engulfing large food particles?
phagocytosis.
The engulfing of large particles at the cells surface?
Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs large particles or whole cells, either as a defense mechanism or as a means to obtain food. A phagocyte is a cell that ingests and destroys foreign matter or microorganisms.
What is the chemical formula of endocytosis?
Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) or large particles (such as bacteria) by engulfing them. It cannot be represented by a chemical formula.
What is engulfment?
engulfing is the movement of large materials
What is Uptake of large particles?
Uptake of large particles
What does engulfing mean?
Engulfing means totally enclosing.

Have capability of phagocytosis?
phagocytosis is a process by which large particles or solids are engulfed by the cell.the membrane forms a pouch as it encloses the material taken in an.an example of a phagocytosis process is the engulfing of a paramesium by an amoeba
What are Pseudopodia that are broad and are used for locomotion and engulfing food called?
Pseudopodia that are broad and used for locomotion and engulfing food are called lobopodia. These are typically large and rounded extensions of cytoplasm that enable amoeboid cells to move and capture prey.
What is engulfing a particle called?
When a cell engulfs a particle, it is called phagocytosis. Certain white blood cells phagocytize and digest infectious particles like bacteria to kill them.
Which describes engulfing?
Engulfing is to sweep over something. Surround something, or completely cover it.
