The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
It is called phagocytosis.
active transport
When the cell engulfs large fragments of matter, it is called phagocytosis. Endocytosis is a broader term that encompasses phagocytosis and pinocytosis, which involves the uptake of liquids and small particles. Exocytosis, on the other hand, refers to the process of expelling materials from the cell. Therefore, the correct terms are phagocytosis and endocytosis.
Endocytosis:==> Phagocytosis or Pinocytosis. Endocytosis is the name given to the process of cells absorbing molecules. Pinocytosis is intended for small molecules Phagocytosis is for large particles. (larger then ~around 0.75 µm in diameter)
Phagocytosis, a form of endocytosis
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs a large particle by extending pseudopodia around it and bringing it into the cell in a membrane-bound vesicle.
It is called phagocytosis.
active transport
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.
The process you are referring to is called phagocytosis. During phagocytosis, the cell engulfs the solid object, such as a bacterium, by surrounding it with its cell membrane to form a vesicle called a phagosome. The phagosome then fuses with lysosomes containing digestive enzymes to break down the bacterium.
Phagocytosis is the process often thought of as cell eating. In phagocytosis, a cell engulfs and digests particles, such as bacteria or other microorganisms, by forming a membrane-bound vesicle called a phagosome. This process is mainly carried out by specialized cells of the immune system, such as macrophages and neutrophils.
This is phagocytosis.

Phagocytosis Added: A more precise answer here is that this is a form of endocytosis. Phagocytosis usually is particle engulfing without the vesicle, necessarily.
