They're both types of active transport that are the intake of something into a cell. Khan Academy has a great article on this. I recommend checking that out.

➡️Pinocytosis is the absorption of liquids, whereas phagocytosis is the absorption of solid objects which are essentially food for the cell.✔️

➡️Both pinocytosis and phagocytosis are types of endocytosis. ✔️

➡️Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb molecules by engulfing them.✔️

➡️These molecules often include proteins and other substances which are important for the cell’s existence. ✔️

➡️The process of endocytosis is used by all cells as the molecules are large polar molecules that cannot pass through the hydrophobic plasma or cell membrane.✔️

Pinocytosis

➡️It is the absorption of liquids, whereas phagocytosis is the absorption of solid objects which are essentially food for the cell. Almost all cells perform pinocytosis, however phagocytosis is performed only by specialized cells that protect tissues by engulfing bacteria, cell debris, and other abnormal materials.✔️

➡️Pinocytosis is essentially the process of absorbing fluid together with its contents into the cell. The cell does this by forming narrow channels through its membrane. These channels surround the liquid and all its contents and then pinch off into vesicles, hence the liquid in successfully absorbed into the cell. The molecules then fuse with lysosomes to hydrolyze or be broken down. The process of pinocytosis requires a lot of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate. This is the chemical compound that is generally used as energy in most cells.✔️

Phagocytosis

➡️It is the process of absorbing and ingestion of particles by the cell and by many protests, such as amoeba to acquire nutrients. ✔️

➡️The absorption process is similar to pinocytosis, except that instead of liquid the absorbed substance are essential nutrients, which are surrounded by channel and then pinch off into vesicles. The nutrients are then fused with lysosomes and broken down by enzymes. Any and all waste material is then expelled from the cell.✔️

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The continental plate is the location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.

Explanation:

Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.

This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.

Equilibrium is when the concentration is the same throughout an entire system. Explain how a cell reaches equilibrium in all thr

Sati [7]

The cell reaches equilibrium in a hypertonic solution by removing water from it so that the two concentrations are isotonic, in a hypotonic solution the water will move into the cell and in an isotonic solution the water will not move anywhere anymore. Both cells have the same solute concentration.

<h3>How do these equilibrium processes occur?</h3>

The hypertonic solution is the one that has a solute concentration greater than that of the cell, so in order to reach the same concentration, the water in the cell will leave to equal the solute concentration in the cell. The hypotonic solution, on the other hand, is the one that has a lower solute concentration than the cell, so the water will enter the cell to have the same concentration.

Finally in the isotonic solution nothing will happen, since both inside the cell and in the solution itself there will be the same concentration of solute, so no concentration has to be equalized.

Therefore, we can confirm that the cell reaches equilibrium in a hypertonic solution by removing water from it so that the two concentrations are isotonic, in a hypotonic solution the water will move into the cell and in an isotonic solution the water will not move anywhere anymore. Both cells have the same solute concentration.
