  3. Pinocytosis
    Pinocytosis: A cellular process that permits the active transport of fluid from outside the cell through the membrane surrounding the cell into the inside of the cell.

  4. pinocytosis
    Uptake of fluid-filled vesicles into cells (endocytosis). Macro-pinocytosis and micro-pinocytosis are distinct processes, the latter being energy independent and involving the formation of receptor-ligand clusters on the outside of the plasma membrane, and clathrinon the cytoplasmic face.
