Why does endocytosis only occur in animal cells and not in plant cells?

The endocytosis only occurs in animal cells because plant cells don't have cell membranes they have cell walls. And the definition of endocytosis is " a process when a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicles to bring it to the cell." so a plant cell can't do that only animal cells can.

I hope that helped. If not, sorry!

Are lysosomes in plant or animal cells or both?
Lysosomes are found in both plant and animal cells.
Why is endocytosis not possible in a plant cell?
What is endocytosis? It is the absorbing of outside materials into the cell by folding inward the cell membrane. Using that fact, endocytosis clearly can't occur in a plant cell because of the cell wall.
What do plant cell have that animal cells?
Animal cells have centrioles and plant cells do not.
How is animals cells different from plant cells?
Animal cells have lysosomes, plant cells don't. Plant cells have a cell wall made out of cellulose, animal cells don't. Animal cells have many small vacuoles, plant cells have one large vacuole. Plant cells have chloroplasts and chlorophyll, animal cells don't. Animal cells have centrioles, plant cells don't.
What is in plant cells but not animal cells?
plant cells have a cell wall and a cholorplast animal cells don't

Why endocytosis found in animal only?
Endocytosis requires the fluidity of the cell membrane. Plant and prokaryotic cells have cell walls, which do not have the fluidity required to form vesicles around materials.
What does not occur in plants cell mitosis but does occur in animal cell mitosis?
Astral rays does occur in animal cells not in plant cell
Are lysosomes in plant or animal cells or both?
Lysosomes are found in both plant and animal cells.
What process does not occur in animal cells?
The process of osmosis and photosynthesis are not performed by animal cells.

Is centrioles in plant or animal cells?
Animal cells, not plant cells.
Why are chloroplasts important to animal cells?
They're not important to animal cells because they're only in plant cells. They alow photosynthasis to occur. 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 +6O2
What do plant cell have that animal cells?

Do Venus Flytraps have plant or animal cells?
Well seeing it is a plant it has plant cells not animal cells
Why do animal cells need plant cells?
animal cells can't make their own food, plant cells can so animal cells need to eat plant cells
