Wikipedia has a nice article on this. Type in "endocytosis" as the search term.
The process is called phagocytosis, which means "cell eating".
This is called endocytosis.
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is the form of endocytosis that involves specific receptors on the cell membrane binding to ligands for internalization. This process allows for selective uptake of specific molecules into the 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.
The process you are referring to is called endocytosis. In endocytosis, the cell membrane surrounds and engulfs particles or fluids from outside the cell, forming a vesicle that brings the material into the cell. This allows the cell to take in nutrients, remove waste, or internalize signaling molecules.
The official definition of the word endocytosis is "the taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole."
Endocytosis is a cellular process in which cells engulf molecules or particles by wrapping them in a section of the cell membrane to form a vesicle. This allows the cell to take in substances from the extracellular environment. Endocytosis plays a key role in nutrient uptake, cell signaling, and the removal of waste products.
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.
Phagocytosis is a kind of endocytosis. Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis. These are just different ways to enter large molecules inside the cell.
Endocytosis is a form of active transport.
Endocytosis and exocytosis are active processes.
This process is called endocytosis. It involves the formation of a vesicle from the cell membrane to engulf molecules and bring them into the cell. Endocytosis can occur through various mechanisms such as phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.
The process is called phagocytosis, which means "cell eating".
This is called endocytosis.

Which organelles are involved in the process called endocytosis?
Endocytosis requires energy in the form of ATP to occur.
