The process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding of the cell membrane?
Endocytosis is the process of a cell 'engulfing' material by foldings of the cell membrane.
What is it called when a part of a cell membrane closes around a molecule to allow the molecule to enter the cell?
This is called endocytosis.
How does the cell engulf liquid of small particles of matter?
Phagocytosis (cell eating) - form of endocytosis(folding in of cell membrane to trap material from the outside) ; cell membrane engulfs solid particles by wrapping around itPinocytosis (cell drinking) - form of endocytosis; cell engulfs liquids by sucking it in
Phagocytosis is also known as what?
It is similar to diffusion. It is when a cell's membrane engulfs a particle and the remaining part of the membrane turns into a vacuole around the particle. This occurs when the particle is too large to diffuse into the cell on its own.
Why is the energy expended during endocytosis worth it?
Endocytosis is the bulk transport of materials into a cell, using energy in the form of ATP. It is an active process, and the energy is used to move the membranes around the materials to form the vesicles that are needed, and to move the vesicles into the cell.
What is the definition Endocytosis?
The official definition of the word endocytosis is "the taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole."
What is the definition if endocytosis?
The official definition of the word endocytosis is "the taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole."
When a cell ingests a solid particle is it called?
Phagocytosis, a form of endocytosis

The process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings of the cell membrane?
endocytosis.

Why endocytosis found in animal only?
Endocytosis requires the fluidity of the cell membrane. Plant and prokaryotic cells have cell walls, which do not have the fluidity required to form vesicles around materials.
Phagocytosis is also known as what?
It is similar to diffusion. It is when a cell's membrane engulfs a particle and the remaining part of the membrane turns into a vacuole around the particle. This occurs when the particle is too large to diffuse into the cell on its own.
What occurs when the plasma membrane surrounds a large substance outside the cell and moves it inside the cell?
The process you are talking of is referred to as 'endocytosis', which is bulk transport into the cell.
Why is the energy expended during endocytosis worth it?
Endocytosis is the bulk transport of materials into a cell, using energy in the form of ATP. It is an active process, and the energy is used to move the membranes around the materials to form the vesicles that are needed, and to move the vesicles into the cell.
Is endocytocsis a form of passive transport?
No. Endocytosis requires the cell to expend energy, therefore it is a form of active transport.
