phagocytosis (it's a form of endocytosis)
Phagocytosis is the cellular process of engulfing solid particles by the cell membrane to form an internal phagosome, or "food vacuole." The phagosome is usually delivered to the lysosome, an organelle involved in the breakdown of cellular components, which fuses with the phagosome. The contents are subsequently degraded and either released extracellularly via exocytosis, or released intracellularly to undergo further processing.
Phagocytosis is involved in the acquisition of nutrients for some cells, and in the immune system it is a major mechanism used to remove pathogens and cell debris. Bacteria, dead tissue cells, and small mineral particles are all examples of objects that may be phagocytosed.
Phagocytosis is a specific form of endocytosis involving the vesicular internalization of solid particles, such as bacteria, and is therefore distinct from other forms of endocytosis such as pinocytosis, the vesicular internalization of various liquids.
The cell forms a dimple on its side closest to the food particle, then wraps itself around the food particle engulfing the food particle, then the cell membrane pinches off enclosing the food particle in a vacuole. The vacuole is then flooded with digestive enzymes, which dissolve the food particle. The nutrients released are then absorbed by the cell from the vacuole.
Once the vacuole has served its purpose it merges back into the cell membrane, dumping its indigestible contents outside the cell.

Channel proteins take specific substances across cell membranes. Molecules passing through the membrane by channel protein is called mediated transport. To transport the substances, the channel protein must be embedded in the total cell membrane.
The molecule will be transported across the membrane by way of a transport protein or protein channel.
It is a passive process utilizing a protein carrier or channel.

Phagocytosis is the cellular process where a cell consumes a food particle that is too large to pass through a protein channel. It then forms an internal phagosome, or "food vacuole".

protein binds to a particle and uses energy to move through the cell membrane
A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein.
an aqua protein is a channel protein which allows water to pass through a membrane during osmosis
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
