Phagocytosis
What else can I help you with?
What is the engulfing of a molecule within a cell called?
active transport
What process makes a large molecule enter a cell possible?
Large molecules enter a cell through a process called endocytosis. This involves the cell engulfing the molecule by forming a vesicle around it, which is then brought into the cell. There are different types of endocytosis, such as phagocytosis (engulfing solid particles) and pinocytosis (engulfing liquid particles).
What is it called when a cell membrane closes around a molecule to allow the molecule to enter the cell?
selectively permiable membrane (you might want to double check that though...)
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)
Which is involved in engulfing?
Cell Membrane
What part of the membrane would help a large protein molecule enter the cell?
Globular Proteins
Where do we usually find the dna molecule in a living cell?
The DNA molecule in a living cell is typically found within the cell's nucleus, packaged into structures called chromosomes. In some organisms, such as bacteria, the DNA may be found in a region called the nucleoid within the cell, which is not surrounded by a membrane.
Is a molecule bigger than a cell?
No. A cell consists of many, many molecules - millions probably.
Where do we usually find DNA molecule in a living cell?
it is found within the nucleus
Which type of molecule forms a lipid bilayer within a cell membane?
a phospholipid
What process includes a cell engulfing a particle and packages it inside a vesicle?
Phagocytosis Added: A more precise answer here is that this is a form of endocytosis. Phagocytosis usually is particle engulfing without the vesicle, necessarily.
Why is phagocytosis called 'cell eating'?
Phagocytosis is called 'cell eating' because it is a process in which a cell engulfs and digests particles or other cells by forming a vesicle around them. This process is similar to a cell 'feeding' on external material by actively engulfing it.
