Cell Membrane

active transport
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)
Body cells that have died
Engulfing means totally enclosing.
A boat being surrounded by water is a great example of engulfing.

Phagocytosis Added: A more precise answer here is that this is a form of endocytosis. Phagocytosis usually is particle engulfing without the vesicle, necessarily.
amoeba is a phagocyte. it means that it is a cell which absorbs waste material, harmful microorganisms, or other cells by engulfing them. the process of engulfing food is called phagocytosis.
