Part 1: COMPLETION. Complete the table below based on what you have learned. 
 
PINOCYTOSIS VS. PHAGOCYTOSIS 
Basis for Comparison Pinocytosis Phagocytosis 
Meaning 1.  
Phagocytosis is called cell-eating, in 
which particles are broken down into 
simpler substance with the help of 
enzymes for absorption. 
Process of engulfing By invagination 2.  
Kinds of particles 
ingested 3.  Solid 
Substrate specific 
Pinocytosis is not substrate specific 
and cell takes all kind of surrounding 
fluids with all solutes present.  
4.  
Purpose 5.  6.  
Vesicles forms Pinosomes Phagosomes 
Role of lysosomes 7.  Lysosomes combine with phagosomes 
for the formation of food vacuole 
Types of particle intake 8.  9.  
Where it happens Usually occurs in secretory cells, cell 
linings of blood capillaries 10.  
 
For Parts 2 and 3, use additional long bond paper(s) for your answers. 
Part 2: ESSAY-WRITING. Having learned about the what’s, why’s and how’s of the bulk 
transport namely endocytosis and exocytosis, write a 10-sentence paragraph expressing what 
do you think will happen if there is no bulk transport in our body. Be guided by the scoring 
rubric below in the assessment of your work.
