A process where cells absorb material molecules such as proteins from the outside by engulfing it with their cell membrane. It is used by all cells of the body because most substances important to them are large polar molecules, and thus cannot pass through the hydrophobic plasma membrane. The function of endocytosis is the opposite of exocytosis.

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.
The process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings of the cell membrane?
endocytosis.
What process brings food into the cell during active transport?
The process that brings food into the cell during active transport is endocytosis.
What happens to the portion of the cell membrane the surrounds a large during endocytosis?

What happens to the portion of a cell membrane that surrounds a large molecule during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
What happens to the portion of the cell membrane that surround a large molecule during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
What book transport process moves materials into cells?
The process that moves materials into cells is called endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell membrane surrounds particles or substances outside the cell, forming a vesicle. The vesicle then fuses with the cell membrane and releases its contents into the cell.
In which process does a portion of the cell membrane fold inward and surround molecules to bring them into the cell?
endocytosis
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.
When a cell membrane surrounds a particle encloses it into a vesicle and brings the particle into the cell this is called?
The process is called phagocytosis, which means "cell eating".
What is the process by which the cell takes in digested foods and other chemicals?
Process by which the cell takes in digested foods and other chemicals is called endocytosis. Cells absorb molecules by engulfing them during endocytosis.This process is called as endocytosis and consist of phagocytosis ( eating by cell ) or pinocytosis ( drinking by cell ).
What is the role of lysosomes in the bulk transport process of endocytosis?
During endocytosis, the vesicles merge with the lysosomes. The lysosomes then proceed to break down the material of the cell and get rid of the waste.
