Question

What in phagocytosis and pinocytosis..Give example

Answer 1

Pinocytosis is the method by which a cell absorbs small particles outside the cell and brings them inside. The word pinocytosis comes from the Greek for “cell drinking”. During this process, the cell surrounds particles and then “pinches off” part of its membrane to enclose the particles within vesicles, which are small spheres of the membrane. This process is usually used for taking in extracellular fluid (ECF).

Pinocytosis is a type of endocytosis. Endocytosis is when a cell takes in particles by engulfing them with its membrane.
