Cells can take in solids by the process of endocytosis.
The cell membrane (plasma membrane) folds in, surrounding the solids, and pinches off to form a vacuole in the cytoplasm. The cell then secretes enzymes into the vacuole, and any digestible compounds in the solids are broken down and absorbed across the vacuole membrane into the cytoplasm.
There are two types of endocytosis:
if solids are taken in, the process is phagocytosis;
if the vacuole contents are entirely liquid, it is pinocytosis.
Endocytosis - Phagocytosis
The process that transports particles through the cell membrane between phospholipid molecules is called passive diffusion. In passive diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the need for energy input.
The cell engulfs liquid or small particles of matter through a process called endocytosis. This involves the cell membrane wrapping around the substance to form a vesicle that is taken into the cell. Endocytosis comes in different forms such as pinocytosis for liquids and phagocytosis for solid particles.
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
When a cell needs to take in a particle larger than the membrane channels can passage, it will invaginate the cell membrane around the particle(s) and pinch off part of the membrane containing the particles inside the cell membrane. This is called phagocytosis (when the particles are primarily solid) or pinocytosis (when the particles are primarily liquid).
In endocytosis, cells internalize substances by engulfing them in vesicles. This process involves the movement of various particles, including ions, small molecules, proteins, and entire viruses or bacteria, into the cell through invagination of the cell membrane. Each type of endocytosis, such as phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis, facilitates the uptake of specific particles based on the mechanism involved.

The Cell Membrane is the part of the cell that makes lipids and carbohydrates. It transports these parts, as well.
