Macrophages are scavenger cells that can ingest dead tissue and foreign cells. Macrophages form tentacles called pseudopods to surround an invader. Once inside the macrophage, the invader is walled off and then digested and destroyed by a bag of digestive chemicals, or enzymes.

Phagocytosis
Phagocytosis.
The main benefit of phagocytosis is that it is a natural defense against bacterial infection. Drawbacks are that you can get coiling phagocytosis and it could destroy good bacteria.
The process by which white blood cells engulf bacteria is termed phagocytosis. In some organisms, phagocytosis is how food is absorbed.
phagocytosis and exocytosis are come from active transport but osmosis and diffusion is from passive transport

Phagocytosis.
Phagocytosis takes place in the blood.
Inducing phagocytosis.
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
No, phagocytosis is a form of endocytosis.
Surrounding the food with pseudopod.

The word that means the same thing as cell eating is phagocytosis. The outcome is the ingestion of particulate matter, such as bacteria, from the extracellular fluid.
This is taught in biology. Phagocytosis takes in large particles.
