Endocytosis occurs when a substance is brought into the cell. Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis, and is called cell eating. Pinocytosis is cell drinking, another type of endocytosis.

Which is not a kind of endocytosis phagocytosis pinocytosis receptor-mediated endocytosis osmosis?
osmosis
What is the process when large molecules bind to receptors on the plasma membrane and are then engulfed by the cell called?
receptor-meditated endocytosis
Which cells do not use endocytosis for intake of nutrients?
Endocytosis is the process used by a cell to absorb molecules and is used by all cells in the human body. There are three different types of endocytosis: Phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis.
What is phygocytosis?
In cellular biology, pinocytosis ("cell-drinking", "bulk-phase pinocytosis", "non-specific, non-absorptive pinocytosis", "fluid endocytosis") is a form of endocytosis in which small particles are brought into the cell-forming an invagination, and then suspended within small vesicles that subsequently fuse with lysosomes to hydrolyze, or to break down, the particles. This process requires a lot of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate, the chemical compound used as energy in the majority of cells. Pinocytosis is used primarily for the absorption of extracellular fluids (ECF), and, in contrast to phagocytosis, generates very small vesicles. Unlike receptor-mediated endocytosis, pinocytosis is nonspecific in the substances that it transports. The cell takes in surrounding fluids, including all solutes present. Pinocytosis also works as phagocytosis, the only difference being that phagocytosis is specific in the substances it transports. Phagocytosis actually engulfs whole particles, which are later broken down by enzymes, such as lysosomes, and absorbed into the cells. Pinocytosis, on the other hand, is when the cell engulfs already-dissolved or broken-down food.
Which form of endocytosis involves a receptor?
which form(s) of endocytosis involves a receptor
What type endocytosis engulfing of fluid in membrane vesicles?
fluid=pinocytosis particle=phagocytosis
Which is not a kind of endocytosis phagocytosis pinocytosis receptor-mediated endocytosis osmosis?
osmosis
What is the difference between endocytosis and phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is a kind of endocytosis. Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis. These are just different ways to enter large molecules inside the cell.
What includes phagocytosis pinocytosis and a receptor mediated form?
Pincotyosis brings only water into the cell, but receptor-mediated endocytosis brings in other molecules as well
How would a protein get through a cell membrane and into a cell wall?
Endocytosis: Types of Endocytosis: Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis, Receptor-Mediated
The difference between pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis is that?
Pinocytosis is nonselective in the molecules it brings into the cell, whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis offers more selectivity.
Two ways that the cells move things by active transport?
Endocytosis and exocytosis. Endocytosis is when the material goes in the cell by engulfing it in. There are different types of endocytosis: phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor meditated. Phagocytosis is when the cell engulfs the material in the vesicle. Pinocytosis is when there is fluid in the vesicle. Receptor meditated is when there are receptors in the vesicle to attract material. Excocytosis is when the material goes out of the cell by fusing with the membrane. Both of these active transport uses a vesicle that forms in order to bring the materials in or out of the cell.
Is caveolin involved in receptor-medicated endocytosis?
yes
What is the process when large molecules bind to receptors on the plasma membrane and are then engulfed by the cell called?
receptor-meditated endocytosis
What process does cholesterol enter the cell?
receptor-mediated endocytosis.
What is the define of pinocytosis?
In cellular biology, pinocytosis ("cell-drinking", "bulk-phase pinocytosis", "non-specific, non-absorptive pinocytosis", "fluid endocytosis") is a form ofendocytosis in which small particles are brought into the cell, forming an invagination, and then suspended within small vesicles (pinocytotic vesicles) that subsequently fuse with lysosomes to hydrolyze, or to break down, the particles. This process requires a lot of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate, the chemical compound is mostly used as energy in the majority of cells. Pinocytosis is used primarily for the absorption of extracellular fluids (ECF), and, in contrast to phagocytosis, generates very small vesicles. Unlike receptor-mediated endocytosis, pinocytosis is nonspecific in the substances that it transports. The cell takes in surrounding fluids, including all solutes present. Pinocytosis also works as phagocytosis, the only difference being that phagocytosis is specific in the substances it transports. 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.In contrast, molecule-specific endocytosis is called receptor-mediated endocytosis.
