There are two types of endocytosis: Phagocytosis (cell-eating) and Pinocytosis (cell-drinking). Endocytosis is a process in which a cell fully engulfs materials from the outside and fuses them to its plasma membrane. These materials are usually the larger of materials since they aren't small enough to cross the cell's plasma membrane by some sort of diffusion. Endocytosis is an energy using process in which cells absorb molecules by engulfing them.

What is a description of endocytosis with active transport?

Endocytosis with active transport involves the process of cells taking in large molecules or particles through the cell membrane using energy from ATP. This form of endocytosis allows cells to selectively uptake specific substances from their environment by binding them to specific receptor proteins on the membrane. The energy required for this process ensures that only necessary substances are taken in by the cell.
