Answer:
The difference between pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis is that pinocytosis is nonselective in the molecules it brings into the cell, whereas receptor-mediated endocytosis offers more selectivity.
Explanation:
Pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis are two types of endocytosis.
The first one consists of plasmatic membrane invaginations that capture extracellular fluid with different nutrients and sends it to the inside of the cell in vesicles. The second one, receptor-mediated endocytosis, consists of receptors on the outside of the plasmatic membrane and clathrin proteins on the interior side of the membrane. When the receptors are in contact with its specific molecule, a vesicle surrounded by clathrin proteins, is formed transporting specific molecules to the cell's interior.
