Endocytosis is the ingestion of material by the cells through their plasma membrane. It, is a collective term that describes three similar processes phagocytosis (cell eating), potocytosis (cell drinking) and receptor-mediated endocyosis. These processes are pathways to specifically internalise solid particles, small molecules and ion, and macromolecules, respectively. All of them require energy, so they may be regarded as different forms of active transport.
