What process describes a cell engulfing large food particles?
phagocytosis.
Why is osmosis important to cells?
Cells need to get rid of large particles they don't need
What is the process by which specialized cells engulf large particles is?
Phagocytosis
what is the advantage of having many small cells instead of one large cell?
With smaller cells, there is a greater surface area.
What is the name of The engulfing of large particles?
endocytosis
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.
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 importance of large surface cells?
To occupy a large surface.
What is phagocytosis and how does it work?
large particles or cells are engulfed by the cell plasma membrane
What is it called when large particles get into and out of cells?
Into: endocytosis Out: exocytosis
What is engulfment?
engulfing is the movement of large materials
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.
Why is osmosis important to cells?
Cells need to get rid of large particles they don't need
Why is osmosis's important cells?
Cells need to get rid of large particles they don't need
