1. Particles or macromolecules that are too large and too charged or polar to pass through biological membranes are taken into cells by a process called endocytosis. Phagocytosis is one of three types of endocytosis. 2. In phagocytosis, which means "cellular eating," part of the plasma membrane engulfs the particle.
