No more than the degree of fluids taken in to the cell. Pinocytocis is " cell drinking " and marcropinocytocis is just a larger intake of fluids by endocytosis.

Endocytosis of liqids is called?
pinocytosis
In which process does the cell used a vesicle to move molecules into the cell?
Endocytosis
Is pinocytosis acitve or passive transport?
It is the active transport of liquids in vesicles into and out of a cell so it uses metabolic energy, thus active
What is the different between phagocytosis and pinocytosis?
Phagocytosis is the cellular intake of large molecules (e.g. proteins, polysaccharides) by pseudopodia; a large food vacuole is formed. Pinocytosis is the cellular intake of small molecules dissolved in the extracellular fluid; a smaller vesicle is formed. In both cases, matter is entering the cell.
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.
What are the difference between phagotrophic and pinocytosis?
differences between phagotrophism and phagocytosis
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.
Endocytosis of liqids is called?
pinocytosis
What are the difference types of active transport?
endocytosis exocytosis phagocytosis and pinocytosis
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.
When cells drink liquid droplets what is it called?
Pinocytosis.
What are the differences between pinocytosis and phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis involves the cell taking in solid particles, while pinocytosis involves taking in fluids. In both, the cell engulfs the material with its membrane, creating vesicles.
What does pinocytosis involve the transport of?
Pinocytosis involves the transport of fluids into a cell. Pinocytosis is when small particles are brought into the cell. It is also a mode of endocytosis.
Can you write a sentence using the word pinocytosis?
Pinocytosis Is Known As Cell Eating .
Pinocytosis would allow the intake of?
FLuids into a cell.
What does pinocytosis transport?
Fluids
In which process does the cell used a vesicle to move molecules into the cell?
Endocytosis
