Phagocytosis is a form of exocytosis?
Phagocytosis is actually a form of endocytosis, not exocytosis. In phagocytosis, a cell engulfs particles or cells by wrapping its cell membrane around them, forming a vesicle inside the cell. Exocytosis, on the other hand, involves the release of substances from a cell by fusion of a vesicle with the cell membrane.
What is the opposite of phagocytosis?
The opposite of phagocytosis is exocytosis, where cells release substances out of the cell. In phagocytosis, cells engulf and internalize particles, while in exocytosis, cells expel substances from vesicles to the external environment.
In which process does the cell used a vesicle to move molecules into the cell?
Endocytosis
Does phagocytosis go against concentration gradient?
Yes, phagocytosis does go against the concentration gradient. This process involves the engulfing of large particles or pathogens by immune cells, such as macrophages, which requires energy in the form of ATP. Unlike passive transport mechanisms that move substances along their concentration gradient, phagocytosis actively transports materials into the cell, making it an active process.
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.
How do substances get in and out of a cell if they are to big to pass through the cell membrane?
Do you mean how do substances move through a cell membrane if they are too big to transport by passive transport?If so, a cell uses active transport to move large particles in and out of a cell. Active transport includes endocytosis, pinocytosis, and phagocytosis.
Phagocytosis is a form of exocytosis?
Phagocytosis is actually a form of endocytosis, not exocytosis. In phagocytosis, a cell engulfs particles or cells by wrapping its cell membrane around them, forming a vesicle inside the cell.

What controls which substances can move in and out of cells?
Cell membrane controls which substances can move in and out of a cell. It is the dynamic boundary of cell
What is the opposite of phagocytosis?
The opposite of phagocytosis is exocytosis, where cells release substances out of the cell. In phagocytosis, cells engulf and internalize particles, while in exocytosis, cells expel substances from vesicles to the external environment.
2 type of endocytosis?
The 2 types of endocytosis are pinocytosis("cell drinking) in which liquids are taken up by the cell and then there is phagocytosis (cell-eating) in which the cell engulfs certain substances.
By what process also known as cell eating is a pacticular substance engulfed by a cell membrane and then digested?
The process known as phagocytosis is responsible for engulfing and digesting particles such as bacteria, dead cells, or foreign substances by a cell. During phagocytosis, the cell membrane extends to surround the particle, forming a vesicle that is then fused with lysosomes for digestion.
In which process does the cell used a vesicle to move molecules into the cell?
Endocytosis
Does phagocytosis go against concentration gradient?

What is the difference between the phagocytosis and exocytosis?
Phagocytosis(active transport and part of endocytosis) is the process by which a cell-often a phagocyte or a protist-engulfs a solid particle to form an internal vesicle known as a phagosome, HOWEVER, Exocytosis is a form of active transport in which a cell transports molecules (such as proteins) out of the cell.
What is it called when the external fluid is engulfed?
The process you are referring to is called endocytosis, where a cell engulfs substances from its external environment by wrapping around them and bringing them into the cell within a vesicle.
What is the uptake of large particles called?
The uptake of large particles is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a process where cells, such as macrophages and neutrophils, engulf and internalize large particles, such as bacteria, cell debris, or foreign substances, for degradation and elimination.
