➺Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell. The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane, which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the ingested material. Endocytosis includes pinocytosis (cell drinking) and phagocytosis (cell eating). It is a form of active transport.
- The flexibility of the cell membrane enables the cell to engulf food and other materials from its external environment. Such process is called endocytosis. Example : Amoeba engulfs its food by endocytosis.
