Diffusion, Osmosis, Active Transport
Pinocytosis (‘cell drinking’) This is the uptake of large molecules (DNA, protein) from solution, by a form of endocytosis – the vesicles formed are minute and short-lived. Phagocytosis (‘cell eating’) This is the uptake of solid particles by a cell e.g. Amoeba feeding, phagocytes engulfing bacteria. IHW March 2005
