It Moves solids
No, phagocytosis is a process where a cell engulfs and internalizes solid particles or other cells. It is not used to move substances out of a cell but rather to bring them into the cell for processes like digestion or immune response.
Endocytosis
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
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.
White blood cells that engulf and destroy bacteria are known as neutrophils. They are a type of phagocyte that play a key role in the immune response against bacterial infections. Neutrophils engulf bacteria through a process known as phagocytosis, helping to eliminate the invading pathogens from the body.

No. Phagocytosis is the process in which a cell engulfs and takes in a particle. Some white blood cells are phagocytes, taking in and destroying bacteria.
Endocytosis
Phagocytosis takes place in the blood.

endocytosis exocytosis phagocytosis and pinocytosis
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.
Neurons do not typically carry out phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a process by which certain immune cells engulf and digest pathogens or debris, and neurons are not specialized for this function. Microglial cells, which are a type of immune cell in the brain, are responsible for phagocytosis in the central nervous system.
Phagocytosis is used by any organisms with a cell that needs to engulf large particles.
