The prefix pino means drink phago means to eat and cyto means Cell. Using this information explain why the words pinocytosis and phagocytosis are good names for the processes they describe?
pino- also means drink. If you use this meaning, pinocytosis would translate to drinking process of the cell. This is a good name for the process it describes because it involves taking liquids into the cell by means of endocytosis. Phagocytosis translates to eating process of the cell. Phagocytosis is a good name for the process it describes because the process involves the cell taking in particles of food by means of endocytosis.
The process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings of the cell membrane?
endocytosis.
2 type of endocytosis?
The 2 types of endocytosis are pinocytosis("cell drinking) in which liquids are taken up by the cell and then there is phagocytosis (cell-eating) in which the cell engulfs certain substances.
What occurs when the plasma membrane surrounds a large substance outside the cell and moves it inside the cell?
The process you are talking of is referred to as 'endocytosis', which is bulk transport into the cell.
Phagocytosis vs pinocytosis?
Pinocytosis is the introduction of fluids into a cell by invagination of the cell membrane, followed by formation of vesicles within the cells. Phagocytosis is the engulfing and ingestion of bacteria or other foreign bodies by phagocytes.
When a cell membrane surrounds a particle encloses it into a vesicle and brings the particle into the cell this is called?
The process is called phagocytosis, which means "cell eating".

What term describes the environment outside the cell?
extracellular! it is NOT the cell wall or the cytoplasm!
The process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings of the cell membrane?
endocytosis.
Can endocytosis and exocytosis occur with the same cell?
Yes. Because the budding of endocytosisbrings in various nutrients in the cell andexocytosis takes out the waste and hormones of the cell.

How receptor medicated endocytosis is more specific than pinocytosis and phagocytosis?
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.
What is the process of taking material into the cell by means of unfolding of the cell membrane?
Endocytosis
The process of taking materials into the cell by means of infoldings of the cell membrane?
