Question

What are the differences between receptor-mediated endocytosis and phagocytosis?

Answer 1

Endocytosis is the process where cells ingest food through their membranes by enveloping it. Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis where the cell envelopes solid food particles

Answer 2

Answer:

Receptor-mediated endocytosis uses special receptor proteins to help carry large particles across the cell membrane.

Phagocytosis engulfs large particles and brings them into the cell through vesicles. Those vesicles then merge with a lysosome to breakdown the material within the vesicle.
