When a cell surrounds a solid particle forming a vesicle and pulls it into the cells it is called what?
phagocytosis
What is it called when a single cell ameba surrounds a particle of food?
This phenomenon is known as phagocytosis.
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".
How the amoeba uses it pseudopods?
Pseudopods serve two important functions-locomotion and food capture, activities that are often interrelated. Amoebas use their pseudopods to ingest food by a method called phagocytosis (Greek: phagein, to eat).The streaming of protoplasm inside the pseudopods moves the amoeba forward. When the organism contacts a food particle, the pseudopods surround the particle. After the food is corralled by the amoeba, an opening in the membrane allows the food particle to pass into the cell. Inside the cell, the food is enclosed within food vacuoles, digested by enzymes, and assimilated by the amoeba. The amoeba expels particles that are not acceptable as food.
How does amoebas trap food particles and to move?
Amoebas use cytoplasmic streaming to trap food particles and move. Cytoplasmic streaming is caused by microfilament movement in the cytoskeleton of an amoeba. The cytoplasmic streaming allows the amoeba to surround its food particles. The arm like projects that seem to come out of the amoeba are called pseduopodia. When the cytoplasm completely surrounds the food particles it forms a vacuole around them. The pseduopodia also allow the amoeba to move.
What is the process called when a cell surrounds a large particle with pseudopodia and then engulfs it?
phagocytosis
What is a type of active transport by which a cell surrounds a large particle?
The process is called endocytosis.
When a cell surrounds a solid particle forming a vesicle and pulls it into the cells it is called what?
phagocytosis

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".
Which protists surrounds and engulfs its food?
The protist amoeba does. I think this process is called exocytosis.
How do amoba eat?
Amoeba surrounds completely its prey with ithe projections of the protoplast , that are called pseudopodia. and along with some water, it takes in the prey within its cell. The process is called phagocytosis.

What does amoeba eat by?
To eat, the amoeba stretches out the pseudopod, surrounds a piece of food, and pulls it into the rest of the amoeba's body. Amoebas eat algae, bacteria, other protozoans, and tiny particles of dead plant or animal matter. Amoebas reproduce (make more amoebas) by a process called binary fission.
A tiny particle of matter?
The basic unit of matter is called an atom. An atom consists of a cloud of negatively charged ions that surrounds a dense nucleus.

When the cytoplasm completely surrounds the food particles it forms a vacuole around them. The pseduopodia also allow the amoeba to move.
Where does amoeba obtain its food?
The amoeba in Figure 15 belongs to the group of protozoans called sarcodines. Sarcodines move and feed by forming pseudopods (soo duh pahdz)---temporary bulges of the cell. The word pseudopod means "false foot." Pseudopods form when cytoplasm flows toward one location and the rest of the organism follows. Pseudopods enable sarcodines to move. For example, amoebas use pseudopods to move away from bright light. Sarcodines also use pseudopods to trap food. The organism extends a pseudopod on each side of the food particle. The two pseudopods then join together, trapping the particle inside. FROM SCIENCE EXPLORER 2009 LIFE SCIENCE BOOK
