EndocytosisThe process of taking in materials or liquids into a cell.

2 Types:1. Phagocytosis2. Pinocytosis

Phagocytosis

The process of engulfing and ingestion of solid particles by the cell. The materials fuse with the lysosome and is then digested. The engulfed material is digested or degraded and then released by exocytosis. Also called “cell eating”
