When a cell engulfs large fragments of water, it is called "pinocytosis." This process involves the cell taking up extracellular fluid and any solutes dissolved in it by invaginating its membrane to form small vesicles.
The process of engulfing small dissolved particles in the cell is called pinocytosis. During pinocytosis, the cell membrane surrounds and takes in fluid and solutes from its surroundings.
Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs a large particle by extending pseudopodia around it and bringing it into the cell in a membrane-bound vesicle.
This process is called endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell membrane engulfs fluid or particles to form vesicles or vacuoles inside the cell. This allows the cell to take in nutrients, remove waste, and regulate its internal environment.

Pinocytosis
When a cell engulfs large fragments of water, it is called "pinocytosis." This process involves the cell taking up extracellular fluid and any solutes dissolved in it by invaginating its membrane to form small vesicles.
The process you are referring to is called endocytosis, where a cell engulfs substances from its external environment by wrapping around them and bringing them into the cell within a vesicle.
The cytoplasm
The process of engulfing small dissolved particles in the cell is called pinocytosis. During pinocytosis, the cell membrane surrounds and takes in fluid and solutes from its surroundings.
Cell Membrane The amoeba uses its cell membrane to form an arm-like structure (pseudopodia) to encircle food with its "arms" and engulfs it. Check the videos on youtube!
phagocytosis
Well, that's the idea. When cell engulfs materials, it is called endocytosis. When cell drinks materials, it is called pinocytosis. I hope that helped.
Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs a large particle by extending pseudopodia around it and bringing it into the cell in a membrane-bound vesicle.
Scientists call the modern view of the cell membrane structure the fluid mosaic model. This model describes the cell membrane as a fluid-like structure composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that can move and interact with each other, giving the membrane its mosaic appearance.
This process is called endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell membrane engulfs fluid or particles to form vesicles or vacuoles inside the cell. This allows the cell to take in nutrients, remove waste, and regulate its internal environment.
It is when the cell engulfs a particle. Once the particle is engulfed it lets it go into the cell forming a vacuole.
