What is phagocytosis and how does it work?
large particles or cells are engulfed by the cell plasma membrane
What is the process in which large particles and fluid enter a cell?
The process of bringing large undissolved particles into a cell would be phagocytosis, literally "cell eating." Hope that helps! :)
What breaks down large food particles in a cell?
Lysosomes are responsible for breaking down large food particles in a cell. They contain digestive enzymes that help break down these particles into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell for energy or building materials.
How will the cell maintain homeostasis if it is hypertonic?
Part of the cell that functions to maintain homeostasis relative to the cell's passage of large molecules and particles to an area outside the cell.
What process is responsible for bringing in large particles into the cell?
Phagocytosis is the process responsible for bringing in large particles such as bacteria or dead cells into the cell. During phagocytosis, the cell engulfs the particle by forming a phagosome, which then fuses with lysosomes to break down the ingested material.
