Question

In _______, the cell ingests large solid particles such as food or bacteria.
A) diffusion
B) osmosis
C) apoptosis
D) phagocytosis

Accepted Answer

Phagocytosis is the cellular process by which a cell engulfs large solid particles such as food or bacteria. Diffusion and osmosis are passive transport mechanisms that involve the movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Apoptosis refers to programmed cell death, which is a normal physiological process that occurs in multicellular organisms.
