What is endocytosis? It is the absorbing of outside materials into the cell by folding inward the cell membrane.

Using that fact, endocytosis clearly can't occur in a plant cell because of the cell wall.

Does endocytosis happen in a plant cell?

Yes.


Why does endocytosis occur only in animal cells and not in plant cell?

The endocytosis only occurs in animal cells because plant cells don't have cell membranes they have cell walls. And the definition of endocytosis is " a process when a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicles to bring it to the cell." so a plant cell can't do that only animal cells can.

What process makes a large molecule enter a cell possible?

Endocytosis


Why endocytosis found in animal only?

Endocytosis requires the fluidity of the cell membrane. Plant and prokaryotic cells have cell walls, which do not have the fluidity required to form vesicles around materials.


The process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding of the cell membrane?

Endocytosis is the process of a cell 'engulfing' material by foldings of the cell membrane.


The process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings of the cell membrane?

endocytosis.


What occurs when the plasma membrane surrounds a large substance outside the cell and moves it inside the cell?

The process you are talking of is referred to as 'endocytosis', which is bulk transport into the cell.


When a cell membrane surrounds a particle encloses it into a vesicle and brings the particle into the cell this is called?

The process is called phagocytosis, which means "cell eating".


Large molecules are surrounded by the cell membrane and enter the cell?

A large molecule that can not enter the cell through myosis enters the cell through by endocytosis. Endocytosis is an example of active transport.


What is it called when a part of a cell membrane closes around a molecule to allow the molecule to enter the cell?

This is called endocytosis.


In which process does a portion of the cell membrane fold inward and surround molecules to bring them into the cell?

endocytosis
