Phagocytosis is the cellular intake of large molecules (e.g. proteins, polysaccharides) by pseudopodia; a large food vacuole is formed. Pinocytosis is the cellular intake of small molecules dissolved in the extracellular fluid; a smaller vesicle is formed. In both cases, matter is entering the cell.

What are white blood cells called that engulf and destroy bacteria?
exocytosis, phagocytosis,pinocytosis, osmosis,
In which process does the cell used a vesicle to move molecules into the cell?
Endocytosis
What is pinocytosis and phagocytosis accomplished by in a cell?
both are accomplished by cell membrance
What is the process by which extensions of cytoplasm engulf large particles called?
Endocytosis:==> Phagocytosis or Pinocytosis. Endocytosis is the name given to the process of cells absorbing molecules. Pinocytosis is intended for small molecules Phagocytosis is for large particles. (larger then ~around 0.75 µm in diameter)
Which is not a kind of endocytosis phagocytosis pinocytosis receptor-mediated endocytosis osmosis?
osmosis
What are the difference between phagotrophic and pinocytosis?
differences between phagotrophism and phagocytosis
What is the difference between endocytosis and phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is a kind of endocytosis. Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis. These are just different ways to enter large molecules inside the cell.
What are the differences between pinocytosis and phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis involves the cell taking in solid particles, while pinocytosis involves taking in fluids. In both, the cell engulfs the material with its membrane, creating vesicles.
Compare phagocytosis and pinocytosis?
Phagocytosis and pinocytosis are both types of endocytosis, which occurs when a substance is brought into the cell. Phagocytosis is called cell eating, while pinocytosis is referred to as cell drinking.
Two types of endocytosis are?
phagocytosis and pinocytosis
Phagocytosis and pinocytosis are examples of?
active transport
What are white blood cells called that engulf and destroy bacteria?
exocytosis, phagocytosis,pinocytosis, osmosis,
What are the difference types of active transport?
endocytosis exocytosis phagocytosis and pinocytosis
What are the types of active transport?
Endocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and exocytosis.
Pinocytosis and phagocytosis involve structural changes in the?
Plasma Membrane
What are the types active transport?
Endocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and exocytosis.
How does bacteria get nutrients?
It eats the salt you eat
