Difference between pinocytosis and phagocytosis

Pinocytosis and phagocytosis are the types of the endocytosis. The main difference between pinocytosis and phagocytosis is state (liquid or solid) of the molecule pass through the cells.

Definition of pinocytosis and phagocytosis:

when the solid molecule transfer to the outside to the inside it is known as the Pinocytosis.

when the solid particle transfer form the outside to the inside it is known as the Phagocytosis. 

 

Difference between pinocytosis and Phagocytosis:

	Pinocytosis	Phagocytosis
Definition	Pinocytosis is cellular process in which fluid/Liquid along with dissolved molecules transport from outside cell (from extracellular fluid) to inside the cell (Intra cellular fluid) .	Phagocytosis is cellular process in which solid particle /molecule along with dissolved molecule transport from outside cell (from extracellular fluid) to inside cell(Intra cellular fluid).
Known as	Pinocytosis is known as the cell drinking	Phagocytosis known as the cell eating
Selectivity	Pinocytosis is not molecule specific process.	Phagocytosis is the molecule specific process
Lysosome requirement	Lysosome enzyme is not require to take place the pinocytosis	Lysosome enzyme is require to take place the phagocytosis.
Vesicle form	The vesicular form in the pinocytosis is known as the pinosomes.	The vesicular form in the phagocytosis is known as the phagocytosis.
Vesicle	The size of the vesicles form is smaller than the vesicle form in phagocytosis	The size of the vesicles form is larger than the vesicle form in pinocytosis.
Materials transferred	Dissolved amino acid, ions, hormones and enzymes	Foreign particles enter in our body, bacteria and virus
Example	Pinocytosis generally take place into the secretory cells	Phagocytosis is mostly happened in white bloods cells as immune system.

 

Similarities between pinocytosis and phagocytosis:

·       Pinocytosis and phagocytosis both are the active transport, require the energy to transfer the molecule from out side to inside the cell.

·       Pinocytosis and the phagocytosis is the types of the endocytosis

Difference between endocytosis and Exocytosis

Endocytosis and exocytosis are the phenomenon happen at cellular level in living organism.

The main difference between Endocytosis and exocytosis the direction of the movement. In endocytosis process the material or smaller cell pass outer side of the cell to the inner side of the cells. While in exocytosis the material or smaller cell pass through the inner side to the outer side of the cell.

 

Definition of Endocytosis:

Endocytosis is the process in which cells engulf the material or micro cells from the outside of the cell with the plasma membrane and release the material within the cell.

Example of Endocytosis:

In protozoa amoeba

 

Definition of Exocytosis:

Exocytosis is the process in which the vesicles attached with the plasma membrane and the release the material outer side of the cells from inside.

Example of Exocytosis:

Hormone release in our body.

 

 

Difference between Endocytosis and Exocytosis:

	Endocytosis	Exocytosis
Definition	Endocytosis is process where the particle or molecule transport to inside the cell form the outside the cells.	Exocytosis is the process where the particle or the molecule. transport to outside the cell to inside the cell.
Types	Phagocytosis Pinocytosis Receptor mediated	Regulated exocytosis Consecutive exocytosis
Function	As immune /Defense system of the body For intake of nutrition.	Release the neurotransmitters into the body.
Energy requirement	Endocytosis require less energy than the Exocytosis	Exocytosis require more energy than the endocytosis
Vesicle	The vesicle form is known as the phagosome or pinosome.	The vesicle form is known as the Secretory vesicle
Example	· Absorption of the molecules are the example of endocytosis. · Food intake amoebas	Release of the hormone in our body is example of the exocytosis process.

 

Similarities between Endocytosis and Exocytosis:

·       Endocytosis and the exocytosis both processes are the types of the vesicular transport.

·       Endocytosis and exocytosis both processes are the active transportation. Both Process endocytosis and exocytosis require the energy to complete the process.

·       Plasma membrane are involved in both endocytosis and exocytosis.

Vesicular transport 

Vesicular transports: Definition, classification (Endocytosis and Exocytosis), Basic and types

Definition: 

Vesicular transport is cellular transport happen in cells for the movement of the material in form of vesicles.

 

Basic of Vesicular transport:

Vesicular transport happens in cellular level. Solid or liquid both types of material can be transfer across the cell by the vesicular transport. By the vesicular transport material can transfer from outer side to inner side and the inner side to outer side of the cell. (Intracellular fluid to extra cellular fluid and the Extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid.)

Solid particles and the liquid particle can transfer across the cell by the vesicular transport

Vesicular transport is the types of the active transport. Active transport mean Energy is required for movement of the Transport.

 

Solid and liquid particles are available into the intracellular and the extracellular fluid it has to transport across the cell membrane for the different purpose. The solid or liquid particle attached to the plasma membrane. Plasma membrane engulf the liquid or solid particle and form the vesicle, the vesicle moves through the cell and reach to the location. The movement may be the out-side cell to the inside the cell or the inside the cell to out side the cell. 

Depend on the direction of the vesicular transport there is the types of the vesicular transport.

 

Types of vesicular transport:

Endocytosis and Exocytosis

Endocytosis:

Endocytosis is the type of the vesicular transport in which the material transfer to the outside the cell to inside the cell. (extracellular fluid to the intracellular fluid.)

Example: amebae protozoal animal gets nutrition by the endocytosis vesicular transport.

Our immune system is work on basis of the endocytosis vesicular transport.

 

Endocytosis is classified into following category:

Pinocytosis: Mean cell drinking

Phagocytosis: mean cell eating

Receptor mediated endocytosis: specific receptor mediated vesicular transport

For more details refer article endocytosis and the exocytosis.

 

Exocytosis:

Exocytosis is the types of the vesicular transport in which the material transfer to the inside the cells to outside the cell (intracellular fluid to the extracellular fluid.)

Example: different neurotransmitters are transmitted by the exocytosis vesicular transport mechanism in our body.

Difference between Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration

 The main difference between aerobic respiration and aerobic respiration is presence of oxygen.

Before we jump on the Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration we will understand what is the respiration.

Respiration is the cellular process which take place in living organism to generate the energy.

There are two types of the respiration occur in living organism

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

As we discussed the main difference between the Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration is the presence of the oxygen In Aerobic respiration: there is exchange of gases while in Anaerobic respiration there is no exchange of gases not involved.

Aerobic respiration	Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic mean presence of Air. The respiration take place in presence of Oxygen is known as the Aerobic respiration.	Anaerobic means absence of Air. The respiration process take place in absence of air is known as the Anaerobic respiration.
There is exchange of the gas happen in the process.	No exchange of gases occur during the Anaerobic respiration.
The process produce the energy, the carbon dioxide and water.	The process produce the carbon dioxide energy and the ethyl alcohol.
Aerobic respiration generate more energy than the anaerobic respiration. It produce 38 ATPS energy per one glucose molecule break down.	Anaerobic respiration generate less energy. It Produce 2 ATPs energy per one glucose molecule break down
Complete oxidation of glucose (Carbohydrate) is happen in the Aerobic respiration.	Incomplete oxidation of glucose (Carbohydrate) is happen in the Aerobic respiration.
Formula : Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy	Formula: Glucose = Alcohol + Carbon dioxide + Energy
Aerobic respiration take place into the mitochondria and cytoplasm.	Anaerobic respiration take place into cytoplasm only.
The aerobic respiration occurs in Plant, Animal, human.	The anaerobic respiration occur in microorganism and the muscle.
Aerobic respiration occur only inside the cell	Anaerobic respiration occur also occur inside and outside the cell.
Energy generation in human body and animal are the best example of the Aerobic respiration.	Fermentation and respiration in muscle during exercise are the best example of the anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic respiration is nontoxic for the organism	Anaerobic respiration is toxic for the organism.

 

Similarities in Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration:

Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration both are the process which produce the energy in the living organism. But the quantity of energy generation is different in both

Glucose are the common ingredient in both process due to the breakdown of the glucose molecule there is generation of energy in both respiration.
