Define the term :
Endocytosis, Phagocytosis and endo-osmosis.
Answers
Answer:
The term “endocytosis” was coined by Christian deDuve in 1963 to include both the ingestion of large particles (such as bacteria) and the uptake of fluids or macromolecules in small vesicles. The former of these activities is known as phagocytosis (cell eating) and the latter as pinocytosis (cell drinking).

VERIFIED Answer
Explanation:
Endocytosis
Endocytosis refers to the process of uptake of extracellular material or membrane proteins by invagination of the cell membrane, followed by formation of vesicles inside the cell in the endosomal (ESCRT, endosomal sorting complex required for transport) pathway.
Phagocytosis
Phagocytosis is a cellular process for ingesting and eliminating particles larger than 0.5 μm in diameter, including microorganisms, foreign substances, and apoptotic cells. Phagocytosis is found in many types of cells and it is, in consequence an essential process for tissue homeostasis
endo-osmosis.
Endosmosis is the movement of the water inside the cells when the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. This movement of water causes the cell to swell.
