#XL - Q Biochemistry
  1. pinocytosis brings only water molecules into the cell, but receptor-mediated endocytosis brings in other molecules as well

  2. pinocytosis increases the surface area of the plasma membrane, whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis decreases the plasma membrane surface area

  3. pinocytosis is nonselective in the molecules it brings into the cell, whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis offers more selectivity

  4. pinocytosis can concentrate substances from the extracellular fluid, but receptor-mediated endocytosis cannot
