No, phagocytosis does not move substances out of a cell. It's the process by which cells take in large particles, like bacteria, viruses, or cellular debris.

Here's how it works:

* Engulfment: The cell membrane surrounds the particle, forming a pocket.

* Vesicle Formation: The pocket pinches off, creating a vesicle (a small membrane-bound sac) containing the particle.

* Digestion: The vesicle fuses with lysosomes, which contain enzymes that break down the particle.

So, phagocytosis is an endocytotic process, meaning it brings things into the cell, not out.
