  • Endocytosis: How Cells Take in Large Molecules - Definition & Types
    The movement of large molecules into a cell is called endocytosis.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Endocytosis: This is a process where the cell membrane engulfs the large molecule and brings it inside.

    * Phagocytosis: This is a type of endocytosis where the cell engulfs solid particles (like bacteria).

    * Pinocytosis: This is a type of endocytosis where the cell engulfs liquid droplets.

    Let me know if you'd like more detail on any of these processes!
