Q

3 types of endocytosis

A
  1. Phagocytosis - plasma membrane forms pseudopodium and engulfs solid particles to form phagosome (food vacuole)
  2. Pinocytosis - plasma membrane invaginates and engulfs extracellular fluid to form a vesicle.
  3. Receptor-mediated endocytosis - cells engulf molecules by binding them to cell surface receptors, which then cluster and bud inward, to form coated vesicles (have coat proteins) containing the bound molecules
