Is Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis Passive or Active Transport?

It is niether. Its is passive actually. http://www.mansfield.ohio-state.edu/~sabedon/campbl08.htm #38. under Endocytosis, which is active passport, includes the example of Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis.


Which of the following processes allows cells to concentrate material that is present only in very small amounts in the extracellular fluid?

Receptor-mediated endocytosis.It is the mechanism that allows cells to concentrate material that is present only in very small amounts into the extracellular fluid.


The difference between pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis is that?

pinocytosis is a non-specific process where the cell engulfs extracellular fluid and particles, while receptor-mediated endocytosis is a selective process that relies on specific receptors binding to ligands for internalization. Receptor-mediated endocytosis is more efficient and targeted compared to pinocytosis.


What includes phagocytosis pinocytosis and a receptor mediated form?

Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf large particles or pathogens, pinocytosis is the engulfing of fluids or small particles, and receptor-mediated endocytosis involves the uptake of specific molecules bound to receptors on the cell surface.


What is the importance of Receptor-mediated Endocytosis in the genetic disorder Familial Hyper-Cholesterolemia?

In mammalian cells, the LDL (low density lipoprotein) receptor transports cholesterol into the cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis. The cholesterol is then used by the cell for various metabolic functions and the receptor is recycled to the plasma membrane.In patients suffering from Familial Hypercholesterolemia, the genes encoding the LDL receptor are mutated, as a result of which cholesterol is unable to bind to the LDL receptor. This leads to accumulation of cholesterol in the circulation, hence causing disease. Patients suffering from this disease are treated using drugs called Statins, which inhibit an important enzyme involved in cholesterol biosynthesis.

What is the process when large molecules bind to receptors on the plasma membrane and are then engulfed by the cell called?

The process is called receptor-mediated endocytosis. It involves the binding of large molecules to specific receptors on the cell membrane, triggering the formation of vesicles that engulf the molecules and transport them into the cell. This process is important for nutrient uptake and cell signaling.

Which processes involves specific membrane receptors?

What is receptor mediated exocytosis of glucose?

Receptor-mediated exocytosis of glucose refers to the process where specialized receptors on the cell surface recognize glucose molecules and trigger the release of glucose-containing vesicles from within the cell to the outside environment. This mechanism allows cells to regulate the uptake and release of glucose in response to specific signals or conditions.


Where do receptor molecules end up after receptor-mediated endocytosis?

Its NOT 'on the inside surface of the cell membrane' Probably ' on the inside surface of the vesicle'


What forms of vesicular transport processes are used by flu viruses diphtheria and cholera toxins to enter your cells?

Flu viruses enter cells through endocytosis, a process where the cell engulfs the virus in a vesicle formed from the cell membrane. Diphtheria toxin enters cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a cell surface receptor and is internalized. Cholera toxin is taken up by clathrin-dependent endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a receptor on the cell surface and is internalized in clathrin-coated vesicles.


Can cipro affect tinnitus?

Yes. This is mediated by ciprofloxacin's antagonism of the GABA(a) receptor, leading to NMDA receptor over-excitation and tinnitus.
