Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cell will wrap its cell membrane around a larger object and bring it inside the cell for digestion. This type of process is called:
A
Endocytosis
B
Exocytosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phagocytosis is a special form of endocytosis in which large particles such as microorganisms and dead cells are ingested via large endocytic vesicles called phagosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endocytosis is a type of active transport that moves particles, such as large molecules, parts of cells, and even whole cells, into a cell. There are different variations of endocytosis, but all share a common characteristic: The plasma membrane of the cell invaginates, forming a pocket around the target particle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with th e cell membr ane. The membrane folds over the substance and it becomes completely enclosed by the membrane. At this point a membrane-bound sac, or vesicle, pinches off and moves the substance into the cytosol.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phagocytosis is the name given to the process by which a cell wraps part of its cell membrane around an external particle and envelopes it, taking it into the cell (endocytosis).

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of endocytosis: phagocytosis and pinocytosis. Phagocytosis, also known as cell eating, is the process by which cells internalize large particles or cells, like damaged cells and bacteria.
