<p>the difference between pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis is that
a.pinocytosis brings onlywater into the cell, but receptor-mediated endocytosis brings in other molecules as well.
b.pinocytosis increases the surface area of the plasma membrane whereas receptor mediated endocytosis decreases the plasma membrane surface area.
c.pinocytosis is nonselective in the molecules it brings into the cell, whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis offers more selectivity.
d.pinocytosis requires cellular energy, but receptor-mediated endocytosis does not
e. pinocytosis can concentrate substances from the extracellular fluid, but receptor-mediated endocytosis cannot.</p>
<p>i think a and c are not answer…but i dont know for sure…</p>
<p>thank you in advance…</p>
