Cells are limited in size by their suface areas and..?

Biology

weeeeeb [17]3 years ago
7 0
Cells are limited in size by their surface area and volume. A cell does not possess a mouth, lungs and digestive system. Every process has to happen directly or indirectly through the cell membrane. The relationship between the volume of cell contents and the surface area of the cell membrane becomes the limiting factor in how big a cell gets to be. If it gets too big it may starve due to lack of incoming nutrients, or poison itself because it can not get rid of waste rapidly enough.

In receptor-mediated endocytosis, which event occurs immediately after the fusion of coated vesicles with lysosomes that are fil
mixas84 [53]

The acidic environment of the lysosome and the lysosomal enzymes detach the ligands from their receptors.

Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a process in which cell surface receptors are employed for transporting substances such as proteins, hormones, and metabolites from extra-cellular matrix into the cells. Receptor-mediated endocytosis usually occurs through clathrin (a type of protein)-coated pits and vesicle and it allow only the receptor-specific substances to enter the cell. Under this process, molecule binds to protein receptors after which the receptor molecule moves to clathrin coated pits and vesicle. The cell membrane then folds inwards and there is fusion of a coated vesicle. After this, the ligands are detached from their receptors.
