Answer:

Endocytosis means taking things in, or absorbing things. The prefix endo- helps me remember that.

Examples are pinocytosis and phagocytosis, which is where a cell envelops a food particle or a drink particle in its cell membrane and takes it into the cytoplasm to be digested and consumed.
