Phagocytosis is the process in which white blood cells engulf foreign particles, such as bacteria, and bring them into the cell to be broken down and destroyed. Pinocytosis is the process in which cells take in fluid and small particles, exocytosis is the process of releasing materials from a cell, receptor-mediated endocytosis is the process in which specific molecules are taken up by a cell, and osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane.
