A way I remembered it is pinocytosis sounds like Pina Colida.
These are all types of active transport involving the movement of materials across a cell membrane. Phagocytosis refers to the process of engulfing large particles, pinocytosis involves taking in fluids or solutes, and exocytosis is the release of materials from a cell.
Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf large particles or pathogens, pinocytosis is the engulfing of fluids or small particles, and receptor-mediated endocytosis involves the uptake of specific molecules bound to receptors on the cell surface.
They all involve the transport of molecules across a cell membrane. Primary active transport requires energy input from ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf solid particles. Exocytosis and endocytosis involve the movement of molecules in and out of the cell using vesicles.
Endocytosis literally means "in - cell - process" (endo - cyt - osis). And that is just what it is: a process for taking materials into a cell by engulfing them.The cytoskeleton just below the cell membrane forms a part of the cell surface into a cup shape, and the bottom of the cup deepens while the lip of the cup closes all round, until a more or less spherical "bubble" of membrane, a vesicle or vacuole, is pinched off and moves deeper into the cytoplasm.There are two types of endocytosis:pinocytosis (derived from a Greek word for "drinking"), in which a relatively small drop of liquid is taken in by the cell;phagocytosis (from Greek for "eating"), in which something solid is included in the "mouthful".Pinocytosis happens in every cell, and goes on all the time. Receptor-mediated pinocytosis is a particularly efficient form of pinocytosis. A receptor on the surface of the cell binds to a molecule in the tissue fluid, and the complex of binding molecule (ligand) and receptor is ingested. For example, this is how human cells take in the element iron, which is present in the tissue fluid bound to a protein called transferrin.Vesicles formed in endocytosis are coated with the protein clathrin. For more details of the role and recruitment of clathrin see the links below. Phagocytosis includes the ingestion of bacteria by phagocytes, one type of human white blood cell involved in defense against organisms that cause disease. Once inside the phagocyte, the bacteria are destroyed.
1) Phagocytosis (literally, cell-eating) is the process by which cells ingest large objects, such as bacteria, viruses, or the remnants of cells which have undergone apoptosis. The membrane invaginates enclosing the wanted particles in a pocket, then engulfs the object by pinching it off, and the object is sealed off into a large vacuole known as a phagosome. 2) Pinocytosis (literally, cell-drinking). This process is concerned with the uptake of solutes and single molecules such as proteins. Both phagocytosis and pinocytosis are non-receptor-mediated forms of endocytosis, and may result in the cell engulfing non-specific or unwanted particles. 3) Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a more specific active event where the cytoplasm membrane folds inward to form coated pits. In this case, proteins or other trigger particles lock into receptors/ ligands in the cell's plasma membrane. It is then, and only then that the particles are engulfed. These inward budding vesicles bud to form cytoplasmic vesicles. This process may also result in engulfing of unwanted particles, however not to the extent of pino/phagocytosis.

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.

similar but opposite. endocytosis is the way food and packets of liquids enter a cell. theres specific names pinocytosis is the liquids entering and phagocytosis is the foods entering. exocytosis is the opposite. the stuff that the cell wants to get rid of gets crammed into a vacuole and shoved out the cell. both processes involve the cell membrane. when endocytosis takes place, the food or liquids are covered in a bit've membrane. when exocytosis, the cells 'crap' is placed in a kinda packet surrounded by the same stuff as a cell membrane. so when this packet comes in touch with the membrane, it joins it, flushing all the stuff that is in it. out.

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.
1) Phagocytosis (literally, cell-eating) is the process by which cells ingest large objects, such as bacteria, viruses, or the remnants of cells which have undergone apoptosis. The membrane invaginates enclosing the wanted particles in a pocket, then engulfs the object by pinching it off, and the object is sealed off into a large vacuole known as a phagosome. 2) Pinocytosis (literally, cell-drinking). This process is concerned with the uptake of solutes and single molecules such as proteins.

These inward budding vesicles bud to form cytoplasmic vesicles. This process may also result in engulfing of unwanted particles, however not to the extent of pino/phagocytosis.
Phagocytosis, meaning "cell eating," is similar to pinocytosis, but the cell takes in solids rather than liquids. Certain kinds of white blood cells are called phagocytes because they can take in solid particles such as bacteria and cellular debris.When a phagocyte first encounters a particle, the particle attaches to the phagocyte's cell membrane. This stimulates a portion of the membrane to project outward, surround the particle, and slowly draw it inside the cell.The part of the membrane surrounding the particle detaches from the cell's surface, forming a vesicle that contains the particle.
Phagocytosis
No per Marieb. Basophils just release histamine and mediators of inflammation and they also contain helarin. Lymphocytes mount immune response by cell attack or via antibodies. The rest do phagoctytize.
