    cell engulfs external substances by wrapping its membrane around them

    Endocytosis is a cellular process where a cell engulfs external substances, such as nutrients or other molecules, by wrapping its membrane around them and forming a vesicle. This allows the cell to intake large particles or fluids that cannot pass through the cell membrane directly, playing a crucial role in nutrient absorption, immune responses, and cellular signaling.
