Organs comprise a group of similar tissues that perform a similar function. The organs work together and are responsible for the daily functioning of an organism’s body.

Pinocytosis vs Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis

Pinocytosis is essentially the process of absorbing fluid together with its contents into the cell. Receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME) is the process by which a cell absorbs nutrients into the cell via selective receptors on the cell membrane.
Pinocytosis vs Phagocytosis

Pinocytosis is the absorption of liquids, whereas phagocytosis is the absorption of solid objects which are essentially food for the cell.
Lipids vs Fats

Lipids are generic names that are assigned to a group of fat soluble compounds found in the tissues of plants and animals. They make up the building blocks of structure and function of living cells. Fats have become synonymous with lipids, but they are a sub-group of lipids and are known as triglycerides. Fats are the fatty acid esters of glycerol and are the primary energy depots of animals. The energy depots are used for storing energy that may be required by the body during deprivation of food.
