Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference between phagocytosis and pinocytosis.
Introduction:
Endocytosis refers to the type of bulk transport wherein the cell transports the molecules inside the cell through engulfing them during an energy using process. Phagocytosis and pinocytosis are the types of endocytosis processes. Endocytosis is the process by which the small molecules, large particles, macromolecules, and small cells are taken up by the eukaryotic cells.
