It is similar to diffusion. It is when a cell's membrane engulfs a particle and the remaining part of the membrane turns into a vacuole around the particle. This occurs when the particle is too large to diffuse into the cell on its own.

A characteristic of plasma membranes that helps them fuse during vesicle formation and phagocytosis is the?
The capacity of lipids to associate and maintain a bilayer organization is a characteristic of plasma membranes that helps them fuse during vesicle formation and phagocytosis. The plasma membrane is also known as the cell membrane.
What are white blood cells called that engulf and destroy bacteria?
exocytosis, phagocytosis,pinocytosis, osmosis,
What is it called when a single cell ameba surrounds a particle of food?
This phenomenon is known as phagocytosis.
Which is a method of avoiding phagocytosis?
Inducing phagocytosis.
What is the movement of particles into the cell?
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
What happens during phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis. It is also known as cell eating, wherein the cell ingests or engulfs large particles.
What are Membrane sacs that develop as a result of phagocytosis?
A phagosome (also known as a food vacuole).
By what process also known as cell eating is a pacticular substance engulfed by a cell membrane and then digested?
The process of eating is also called Phagocytosis. The process of cell 'drinking' is called Pinocytosis
Do amoeba's produce their own food?
No they do not. They "eat" through a process known as phagocytosis.
A characteristic of plasma membranes that helps them fuse during vesicle formation and phagocytosis is the?
The capacity of lipids to associate and maintain a bilayer organization is a characteristic of plasma membranes that helps them fuse during vesicle formation and phagocytosis. The plasma membrane is also known as the cell membrane.

exocytosis, phagocytosis,pinocytosis, osmosis,
A defense cell engulfing a bacterium illustrates?
Phagocytosis
What is it called when a single cell ameba surrounds a particle of food?
This phenomenon is known as phagocytosis.
An organism with a cell wall would have the most difficulty doing which process?
Phagocytosis.
Where does phagocytosis happen?
Phagocytosis takes place in the blood.
Which is a method of avoiding phagocytosis?
Inducing phagocytosis.
What is the movement of particles into the cell?
