○ the cell can surround and take in large substances by extending its cell wall around them.
○ the cell can surround and take in large substances by extending its cell membrane around them.
○ the cell can use the cell wall to break down large substances so they can be taken inside the cell.
○ the cell can use the cell membrane to break down large substances so they can be taken inside the cell.
Cells take in large substances via endocytosis, where the flexible cell membrane extends to surround and engulf the substance. Cell walls are rigid structures that cannot extend or break down substances for uptake; the cell membrane does not break down substances in this process, it encloses them.
