The types of particle transport mechanisms by which particles move into and out of the cell are diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
In an active transport, the cell uses energy (ATP) to transport the particle into the cell. Also, the particle moves through a "hallway" type thing. In a passive transport, the cell does not need energy (ATP) to transport the particle into the cell. Also, the particle just bursts through the cell membrane to get inside.
Active transport
When a cell needs to take in a particle larger than the membrane channels can passage, it will invaginate the cell membrane around the particle(s) and pinch off part of the membrane containing the particles inside the cell membrane. This is called phagocytosis (when the particles are primarily solid) or pinocytosis (when the particles are primarily liquid).
active transport requires input of energy as it takes place aginst a gradient.
exocytosis- particles are expelled from a cell or body- vessicles (sacs) containing the particles fuse with the cell membrane and the contents are expelled endocytosis- particles are induced within a cell- cell membrane forms around them and takes them in: * pinocytosis: engulfing of liquid particles * phagocytosis: engulfing of solid particles (such as a white blood cell engulfing a pathogen)

EXOCYTOSIS-When a large particle must be removed from the cell, the cell uses a different process. In EXOCYTOSIS,vesicles are formed at the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi complex and carry the particles to the cell membrane.ENDOCYTOSIS-In ENDOCYTOSIS, the cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicle. This is how large particles, such as other cells, can be brought into a cell.They both require the use of ATP though, like active transport. However, passive transport doesn't require ATP.Phagocytosis is the cell that takes in large particles. This is used in biology.

Active transport
It is when the cell engulfs a particle. Once the particle is engulfed it lets it go into the cell forming a vacuole.

Energy
The cell Wall
It requires energy, and a protein carrier molecule. The large particle binds to the protein carrier on the inside of the cell. It is then transported across the membrane as a result of a conformational change in the protein (think of it flipping), and then it is released on the outside of the cell. Again, this requires some source of energy.
Endocytosis - the way in which cells take in food and other materials. The cells membrane wraps around the particle it needs on its outside, ingesting it. This then becomes trapped within a vacuole inside the cells cytoplasm where it is broken down, digested, and absorbed by enzymes.
Transport vacuoles are formed when a piece of the cell membrane complete envelops a particle that is on the outside of the cell.
Phagocytosis is considered an active process because it requires energy expenditure by the cell to engulf and digest particles such as bacteria or cell debris. It is a form of endocytosis where the cell engulfs solid particles rather than fluids.
