Endocytosis
Pinocytosis
This is an example of endocytosis, a process where the cell takes in materials from its external environment by engulfing them in a vesicle formed from the cell membrane. It is a common mechanism used by cells to take in nutrients and other substances.
surrounding it with its cell membrane, forming a food vacuole. The food vacuole then fuses with lysosomes containing digestive enzymes, which break down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the amoeba for energy.
Pinocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs liquids or small particles by forming vesicles. Phagocytosis, on the other hand, is the process by which a cell engulfs solid particles by forming pseudopods around the particle to form a vacuole. Both processes are accomplished by the cell's plasma membrane.

Pinocytosis
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.

Yes, engulfing a particle of food by an amoeba requires energy as it involves the process of endocytosis where the cell membrane surrounds and engulfs the food particle. This process requires ATP, the cell's energy currency, to power the necessary molecular machinery.
Phagocytosis is a type of active transport in which a cell engulfs large particles or microorganisms by surrounding them with its cell membrane and forming a vesicle called a phagosome. This process is commonly used by immune cells to engulf and destroy pathogens or debris in the body.
chemotaxis, not phagocytosis, pahgocytosis is when a cell engulfs something by the cell membrane.
surrounding it with its cell membrane, forming a food vacuole. The food vacuole then fuses with lysosomes containing digestive enzymes, which break down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the amoeba for energy.
When a cell engulfs large fragments of water, it is called "pinocytosis." This process involves the cell taking up extracellular fluid and any solutes dissolved in it by invaginating its membrane to form small vesicles.
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.
