. In cellular biology, pinocytosis, otherwise known as cell expelling, fluid endocytosis, and bulk-phase

pinocytosis, is a mode of endocytosis in which small particles are brought out to the mitocdria and then expelling it
from the cell, forming an invagination, and then suspended within small vesicles.

Unlike receptor-mediated endocytosis, pinocytosis is nonspecific in the substances that it transports. The

cell takes in surrounding fluids, including all solutes present. Pinocytosis also works as phagocytosis; the
only difference is that phagocytosis is specific in the substances it transports.

Plasmolysis - contraction of the protoplast of a plant cell as a result of loss of water from the cell.

Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution. The reverse process, cytolysis,
can occur if the cell is in a hypotonic solution resulting in a lower external osmotic pressure and a net flow of
water into the cell.
