Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cell wall is a rigid structure surrounding the cell membrane in some organisms, such as bacteria and plants, which restricts the movement of materials into or out of the cell. Phagocytosis is a process where the cell engulfs solid particles, such as food or bacteria, by surrounding them with a portion of the cell membrane, forming a vesicle within the cell. An organism with a cell wall would not be able to perform phagocytosis, as it requires the cell membrane to surround the particle being ingested.
