The difference between pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis is that
A) pinocytosis brings only water into the cell, but receptor-mediated endocytosis brings in specific molecules that bind to the receptors as well.
B) pinocytosis increases the surface area of the plasma membrane whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis decreases the plasma membrane surface area.
C) pinocytosis is nonselective in the molecules it brings into the cell, whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis offers more selectivity.
D) pinocytosis requires cellular energy, but receptor-mediated endocytosis does
