These are the following answers to the items:
Pinocytosis -cell engulfs molecules in cell "drinking"
Facilitated diffusion- molecules helped by protein; move insoluble molecules
across plasma membrane
Passive diffusion- molecules move in and out freely from high to low concentration 
Phagocytosis- cell engulfs microorganisms in cell "eating"
Active transport- molecules "pumped" in or out from low to high concentration
Passive diffusion- oxygen, carbon dioxide
Active transport- transports sodium, potassium
Pinocytosis- transports glucose, amino acids

The process in which the cell engulfs the molecules in the cell 'drinking' is known as pinocytosis.

The process of the movement of the insoluble molecules across the cell membrane with the help of the proteins is known as facilitated diffusion.

The movement of the molecules from an area of area of high concentration to the low concentration without any energy requirement is known as passive diffusion.

The process of the eating of the microorganisms by a cell is known as phagocytosis.

The process of pumping of the molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration is known as active transport.

The molecules of oxygen and carbondioxide are transported via the passive diffusion.

The molecules of sodium and potassium are transported across the cells via the active transport.

The glucose and amino acids are transported across the cell via the process of facilitated diffusion.
