@ joe 
endocytosis and endosmosis are the two major extensions of the cell surface . 
in endocytosis the cell will engulf the particle which can be either food particle or raw material . 
it occurs by infolding of cell surface through vescicles . 
example – endocytoosis occurs thriough pseupodia in amoeba ,

The major extensions of cell surface are pseudopodia, filopodia, lamellipodia, microvilli, etc.. Some of these can be seen only during cellular movements.
 
Hope you got the answer.
