Phagocytosis implies engulfing matter as a source of energy or in the case of macrophages as an attack. Pinocytosis suggests part of normal metabolism, as in transport of a non-diffusable molecule across a membrane. Receptor-mediated endocytosis involves clathrin-coated pits and usually involves endocytosis of a receptor-ligand complex. This can be involved in cellular signaling or just receptor turn-over (down-regulation).
