Pinocytosis, often referred to as "cell drinking," is a process by which cells take in small droplets of extracellular fluid along with dissolved solutes. This mechanism allows the cell to absorb nutrients, ions, and other small molecules present in the fluid. Substances such as glucose, amino acids, and various nutrients can enter the cell through this process.
Cell membranes allow the regulation of what enters and exits the cell, maintaining cell homeostasis. They also provide structural support and separate the cell's internal environment from the external environment. Additionally, cell membranes facilitate cell communication and recognition.
Endocytosis
When a substance wants to enter a cell it goes through the cell membrane in a process called endocytosis.
A substance must pass through the cell membrane in order to enter or leave a cell. This process can occur through various methods such as simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, or endocytosis/exocytosis. The cell membrane acts as a barrier that selectively allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others.
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.
Phagocytosis if a particle was absorbed. Pinocytosis if a fluid was absorbed.

it can enter it because the cell membrane, which acts like a barrier let's in good substance's and keeps out bad substances. if your talking about a red blood cell it's because it doesn't have a cell wall like plant's do and they burst when they get too swelled up.
Endocytosis
Pinocytosis Is Known As Cell Eating .
The process is called endocytosis, which involves the cell engulfing a substance by forming a vesicle around it. There are different types of endocytosis such as phagocytosis (engulfing solid particles) and pinocytosis (uptaking liquid substances).
pinocytosis
Pinocytosis involves the transport of fluids, solutes, and small molecules into a cell via small vesicles formed by invagination of the cell membrane. It is a non-specific and continuous process involved in nutrient uptake and cell signaling.
When a substance wants to enter a cell it goes through the cell membrane in a process called endocytosis.
the process that causes the water to enter and leave the cell is diffusion
The process of engulfing small dissolved particles in the cell is called pinocytosis. During pinocytosis, the cell membrane surrounds and takes in fluid and solutes from its surroundings.
