Phagocytosis engulfs large molecules using pseudopods, with the membrane reaching out to enclose them.
Phagocytosis engulfs large molecules using pseudopods, where the membrane extends to surround and internalize the substance into a vacuole.
| Front | Phagocytosis |
|---|---|
| Back | - gets large, sometimes small, molecules through pseudopods - molecule DOES NOT push through membrane - membrane reaches out to molecule and encloses it into a vacuole ex) how white blood cells engulf bacteria & how amoeba feed |
