Answer:

It is possible for large molecules to join a cell by a method called endocytosis, where a small piece of the cell membrane surrounds the particle and is brought into the cell. If the particle is solid, endocytosis is also dubbed phagocytosis. If fluid droplets are taken in, the process is called pinocytosis.
