Why endocytosis is found in animal cells only

Open in App

Solution

Endocytosis is the process in which flexible cell membrane engulfs in food and other material from its external environments. Amoeba acquires its food through this process.
Since plant cells have cell wall, it covers the cell membrane from external environments and endocytosis is not found in plant cells. Cell membrane is soft and elastic but cell wall is hard and rigid.
