Question

Receptor mediated endocytosis

• A. Helps to concentrate proteins in vesicles
• B. Brings specific substances into the cell
• C. Is not different from phagocytosis
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

In receptor-mediated endocytosis, special receptors proteins are used. These proteins help in carrying large protein molecules across the membrane of a cell. In this process, the material binds directly onto the receptor protein of the cell membrane, which initiates the process of invagination as well as the formation of a protein-covering layer which is known as the clathrin-coat. The vesicle formed in the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis contains this clathrin protein coating.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
