Verified step by step guidance1
Endocytosis is a cellular process where cells internalize substances from their external environment.
This process involves the cell membrane folding inward to form a pocket around the external material.
Once the pocket is formed, the membrane pinches off to create a vesicle containing the engulfed material.
Endocytosis can be categorized into different types, such as phagocytosis (engulfing large particles) and pinocytosis (engulfing liquids).
This mechanism is crucial for nutrient uptake, immune responses, and cellular signaling.
