Phagocytosis
Through what process do cells become specialized so they can perform specific functions within organisms?
phagocytosis occurs in our body when some foreign particle enters inside it, our white blood cells engulf it, and then digest it. it is also how some microorganisms like ameoba get their food. example: white blood cell engulfing a large, liquid protein droplet.
Macrpphage is the process where Phagocytec, a form of White Blood Cell seek out and engulf or destroy invading or foreign entities, cells, infection and abnormal products within the body. Jeffrey J. Vrtis, RN BSN. ---- This process is referred to as phagocytosis. There are numerous cells in the body that utilize phagocytosis. The most commonly thought of are the macrophage, which is a part of the cellular immunity of the body. The engulfed cellular components are broken down in lysozomes to their most basic parts and destroyed.

Endocytosis:==> Phagocytosis or Pinocytosis. Endocytosis is the name given to the process of cells absorbing molecules. Pinocytosis is intended for small molecules Phagocytosis is for large particles. (larger then ~around 0.75 µm in diameter)

Endocytosis is the action of cells engulfing other cells. Usually when a cell tries to engulf another cell and digest it, it would need some type of enzymes such acid hydrolases or others, to break down those engulfed matter. These cells are usually referred to as Lysosome cells. C for Plato users
White blood cells use phagocytosis to remove foreign particles from the blood stream. These cells will literally engulf foreign particles that are the same size as itself. There are two types of white blood cells which act as phagocytes: macrophages and polymorphic leucocytes. To be phagocytosed, particles need to bind to the receptors on the phagocyte. Then the particle is engulfed and absorbed.
