Cells can take in solids by the process of endocytosis.
The cell membrane (plasma membrane) folds in, surrounding the solids, and pinches off to form a vacuole in the cytoplasm. The cell then secretes enzymes into the vacuole, and any digestible compounds in the solids are broken down and absorbed across the vacuole membrane into the cytoplasm.
There are two types of endocytosis:
if solids are taken in, the process is phagocytosis;
if the vacuole contents are entirely liquid, it is pinocytosis.

What kind of particles are moved in endocytosis?
because endocytosis is an active transport process by which large particles enter a cell.
What process transports particles that move through cell membrane between phospholipid molecules?
Osmosis, Passive Transport, and Active Transport
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)
What is the movement of particles into the cell?
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
When a cell takes in larger particles through a cell membrane?
When a cell needs to take in a particle larger than the membrane channels can passage, it will invaginate the cell membrane around the particle(s) and pinch off part of the membrane containing the particles inside the cell membrane. This is called phagocytosis (when the particles are primarily solid) or pinocytosis (when the particles are primarily liquid).
What organelle transports large particles out of the cell?
cell membrane

What is the process wherein large particles of solid are engulfed by the cell?

What transports to the cell?
whats the answer?
What part of the cell makes and transports lipids and carbohydrates?
The Cell Membrane is the part of the cell that makes lipids and carbohydrates. It transports these parts, as well.
Distinguish between substances that the cardiovascular system transports to cell and substances that it transports away from cells?
oxygen transport to cell & carbondioxide away from cells.
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
