Well, that's the idea.
When cell engulfs materials, it is called endocytosis.
When cell drinks materials, it is called pinocytosis.
I hope that helped.

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
How do large particles enter the nucleus?
Endocytosis, particularly, phagocytosis because the amoeba surrounds the food particle and engulfs it. The food particle is then enclosed into a food vacuole inside the cell where it can be accessed when the cell needs food.
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 happens if the particle is too large to get across the membrane?
The cell use something called a protein channel that helps larger particles across the cell membrane.
What is phagocytosis and how does it work?
large particles or cells are engulfed by the cell plasma membrane
What happens during phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis. It is also known as cell eating, wherein the cell ingests or engulfs large particles.
What is this process occurs when a cell engulfs large food particles?
I am not sure about, "food particles" per se, however when a cell surounds large particles it is called phagocytosis this should not be confused with pinocytosis, which is intended for small molecules
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.

What is phagocytic mobilization?
It is where any cell or protozoan that engulfs microorganisms, any food particles or substances, or even particles is mobilized.
When a cell engulfs large fragments of water it is called?
osmosis perhaps?

What is the process called when a cell surrounds a large particle with pseudopodia and then engulfs it?
phagocytosis
What happens if the particle is too large to get across the membrane?
The cell use something called a protein channel that helps larger particles across the cell membrane.
What are the differences between pinocytosis and phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis involves the cell taking in solid particles, while pinocytosis involves taking in fluids. In both, the cell engulfs the material with its membrane, creating vesicles.
What organelle transports large particles out of the cell?
cell membrane
