1. What is the difference between phagocytosis and pinocytosis?
a. phagocytosis is performed by all cells in the body, pinocytosis is only performed by certain white blood cells
b. phagocytosis is dependent on clathrin, pinocytosis is not dependent on clathrin
c. pinocytosis is dependent on clathrin, phagocytosis is not dependent on clathrin
d. cholesterol can only be removed from the bloodstream by phagocytosis, not by pinocytosis
e. none of the above
 
E. You need to consider that phagocytosis is the ingestion of large molecules, solid particles or other cells by small vesicles into the cell's cytoplasm, whereas pinocytosis involves taking in extracellular fluid or suspension.
