Pinocytosis is the ingestion of extracellular fluids, i.e. the fluid surrounding the cell, together with its contents of small dissolved molecules (solutes). ... Etymology: from Greek pino, meaning “to drink” and cyto, meaning “cell”. Synonyms: cell drinking; fluid endocytosis; fluid-phase endocytosis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Phagocytosis engulfs whole particles, which are later broken down by enzymes, such as cathepsins, and absorbed into the cells. Pinocytosis, on the other hand, is when the cell engulfs already-dissolved or broken-down food. Pinocytosis is non-specific and non-absorptive.
