no that would be facilitated diffusion. nice try though.

Which processes involves specific membrane receptors?
receptor-mediated endocytosis
Phagocytosis is also known as what?
It is similar to diffusion. It is when a cell's membrane engulfs a particle and the remaining part of the membrane turns into a vacuole around the particle. This occurs when the particle is too large to diffuse into the cell on its own.
What are membrane receptors that attach phosphates to specific animo acids in proteins?
called receptor tyrosine-kinases
Why is phagocytosis non specific?
skin
How does gene expression initiate?
Proteins (in short supply) interact with specific receptors on the cells outer membrane, triggering a cascade of events, which leads to the expression of specific genes and the production of the protein.

What part of the cell is stimulated by outside chemicals triggering the cell to carry out specific functions?
cell membrane receptors
Why are viruses so specific in the cell the infect?
Viruses have specific proteins on them which only binds to certain receptors, which are present in certain cell's plasma membrane.
The effect of a neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic cell occurs when the neurotransmitter?
binds to specific receptors on postsynaptic cell membrane
Why is phagocytosis non specific?
skin
Cells engulfuing food?
Cells are capable of engulfing food by forming an invagination (a cavity in the cell membrane formed as a result of the movement of membrane lipids) in their plasma membrane. The engulfed food is then entrapped in a vesicle and transported to a specific location in the cell called the lysosome. The process is called phagocytosis
How does gene expression initiate?
Proteins (in short supply) interact with specific receptors on the cells outer membrane, triggering a cascade of events, which leads to the expression of specific genes and the production of the protein.
The cell types that are most responsible for presenting foreign antigens together with surface antigens to specific receptors on the membrane of T lymphocytes are the macrophages and?
dendritic cells
Is phagocytosis a non specific immune response or a specific immune response?
A non specific event carried out by certain white blood cell types belonging to the innate (non-specific) immune system. For example neutrophils and macrophages both carry out this process. Phagocytosis is the engulfing and digestion of foreign microorganisms and materials. The cells involved perform endocytosis of the material, surrounding it by a membrane as they take it in, where it is then usually destroyed by activation of chemicals inside the white cell.
When a cell or organ has the specific protein receptors either on the plasma membrane of cells or in the interior of cells to which specific hormone attach and therefore cause change those cells as?
lungs ,heart ,brain and iver
