    • Endocytosis is the process by which a cell ingests large molecules or macromolecules from the extracellular space by forming vesicles.
    • Phagocytosis and pinocytosis are types of endocytosis that require energy expenditure and attachment to the glycocalyx.
    • Secondary lysosomes, such as phagolysosomes and endolysosomes, are formed to digest the ingested material.
    • After degradation, resulting products dissolve in the cytoplasm or remain inside the vacuole as a permanent residual body.
    • Pinocytosis is the ingestion of liquids by the cell, forming vesicles smaller than 250 nm and incorporating specific substances through specific receptors.
