Answer:

The transport of a larger molecule is facilitated by phagocytosis of the endocytosis process.

Explanation:

Endocytosis is a process in which the material to be interiorized is surrounded by an area of the cell membrane. Then it buds off inside the cell to make a vesicle containing the targeted molecule. Endocytosis includes pinocytosis or cellular drinking and phagocytosis or cellular eating.

The process by which the plasma membrane of a cell engulfs a large molecule or particle, give rise to an internal package or compartment called the phagosome, is phagocytosis. It is also known as cellular eating.

Fluid endocytosis or pinocytosis is a mode of endocytosis in which small particles suspended in a fluid are internalized and brought into the cell.

Thus, Transport of larger molecule is facilitated by phagocytosis of the endocytosis process.
