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.
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 is the process by which specialized cells engulf large particles is?
Phagocytosis
An amoeba ingest large food particles by what process?
An amoeba ingests large food particles by the process of endocytosis.
What is two types of endocytosis and how do they differ?
1) Phagocytosis (literally, cell-eating) is the process by which cells ingest large objects, such as bacteria, viruses, or the remnants of cells which have undergone apoptosis. The membrane invaginates enclosing the wanted particles in a pocket, then engulfs the object by pinching it off, and the object is sealed off into a large vacuole known as a phagosome. 2) Pinocytosis (literally, cell-drinking). This process is concerned with the uptake of solutes and single molecules such as proteins. Both phagocytosis and pinocytosis are non-receptor-mediated forms of endocytosis, and may result in the cell engulfing non-specific or unwanted particles. 3) Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a more specific active event where the cytoplasm membrane folds inward to form coated pits. In this case, proteins or other trigger particles lock into receptors/ ligands in the cell's plasma membrane. It is then, and only then that the particles are engulfed. These inward budding vesicles bud to form cytoplasmic vesicles. This process may also result in engulfing of unwanted particles, however not to the extent of pino/phagocytosis.
What is the name of The engulfing of large particles?
endocytosis
Engulfing of large particles?
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 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 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 is engulfment?
engulfing is the movement of large materials
What are the deferences between endocytosis and exocytosis?
Endocytosis is a process in which a cell takes in large molecules or particles, while exocytosis is a process in which a cell expels large molecules or particles.
What is the process in which large particles and fluid enter a cell?
The process of bringing large undissolved particles into a cell would be phagocytosis, literally "cell eating." Hope that helps! :)
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
What is the process by which specialized cells engulf large particles is?
Phagocytosis
An amoeba ingest large food particles by what process?
An amoeba ingests large food particles by the process of endocytosis.
