| 1. | Biologists distinguish two main types of endocytosis : pinocytosis and phagocytosis.
|
| 2. | Entry then occurs by the less selective process of absorptive pinocytosis.
|
| 3. | Pinocytosis is used primarily for the absorption of extracellular fluids ( ECF ).
|
| 4. | Lacking a mouth, opalines feed by taking in nutrients from their surroundings by pinocytosis.
|
| 5. | Unlike receptor-mediated endocytosis, pinocytosis is nonspecific in the substances that it transports.
|
| 6. | Pinocytosis is the same process, except the substances being ingested are in the fluid form.
|
| 7. | Pathogens often hijack endocytotic pathways such as pinocytosis in order to gain entry into the cell.
|
| 8. | Some amoebae also feed by pinocytosis, imbibing dissolved nutrients through vesicles formed within the cell membrane.
|
| 9. | There are two types of endocytosis, phagocytosis ( cell eating ) and pinocytosis ( cell drinking ).
|
| 10. | The cellular uptake of the genetic material is accomplished by endocytosis and pinocytosis, two natural biological processes.
