PINOCYTOSIS - ONE MORE TIME
Simply put, cells need to eat and drink just like you. Phagocytosis is the process of a cell eating. It is one type of endocytosis. Endocytosis happens when a cell goes out and takes in something.
Pinocytosis
In pinocytosis ("cell drinking"), the drop engulfed is relatively small.
Pinocytosis
occurs in almost all cells
occurs continuously ...
Pinocytosis refers to engulfing macromolecules.
As in phagocytosis, a vesicle is formed which contains the molecules that were brought into the cell.
pinocytosis Taking up of fluid by endocytosis; cell drinking.
pioneer community The first community to become established in an area.

A less specific mechanism of endocytosis is pinocytosis, which is illustrated in the central section of Figure 1. By means of pinocytosis, a cell is able to ingest droplets of liquid from the extracellular fluid.

Pinocytosis is when the external fluid is engulfed. Receptor-mediated endocytosis occurs when the material to be transported binds to certain specific molecules in the membrane.
