During _______, Cells Ingest Large Solid Particles Such as Food

Question

During _______, cells ingest large solid particles such as food or bacteria.
A) phagocytosis
B) osmosis
C) sodium pump action
D) egestion

Accepted Answer

Phagocytosis is a cellular process in which cells engulf and ingest large solid particles such as food or bacteria. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, sodium pump action is the process of transportation of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane, and egestion is the elimination of undigested waste material from the body. None of these processes involve the ingestion of large solid particles.
