Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	True
B	False

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Pinocytosis increases the surface area of the plasma membrane whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis decreases the plasma membrane surface area.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pinocytosis is a cellular process that requires substantial energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and is a form of endocytosis, a general process by which substances are brought into a cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP is required for receptor-mediated endocytosis in intact cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Endocytosis is a cellular mechanism that moves particles into a cell by enclosing them in a vesicle made out of plasma membrane, while receptor-mediated endocytosis is a form of endocytosis mediated by the receptors located on the cell surface.
