Answer:
What best describes how transferrin is transported through the erythrocyte plasma membrane is receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Explanation:
The incorporation of transferrin across the erythrocyte membrane depends on a transferrin receptor expressed on the surface of the membrane. The specific receptor recognizes the presence of iron-charged transferrin, transferin diferrica, incorporating it into the cell by endocytosis. Once in the cytoplasm, the iron is dissociated from the transferrin.
Free transferrin is called apotransferrin. The transferrin receptor has a high affinity for transferrin di-ferrica, which facilitates its incorporation by endocytosis, and the release of apotransferrin into the extracellular space.
The other options are not correct because:
<em> A. </em><u><em>Exocytosis</em></u><em> implies the exit of substances from the cell.</em>
<em> B. </em><u><em>Pinocytosis</em></u><em> involves the invagination of the membrane to incorporate soluble substances into the cell.</em>
<em> C. </em><u><em>Phagocytosis</em></u><em> is the incorporation of solid substances by invagination of the membrane.</em>
What is a virus ?
Viruses are not made out of cells. A single virus particle is known as a virion, and is made up of a set of genes bundled within a protective protein shell called a capsid. Certain virus strains will have an extra membrane (lipid bilayer) surrounding it called an envelope.
<span>Materials are anything consumed in the experiment; water or salt for example.
Apparatus would be such items as beakers and thermometers; things that are not consumed; things that you would expect to find in a lab as standard equipment </span>
Hello there I hope you are having a great day :)
Blood travels through many different channels to optimize absorption. The water potential in the solution in the dialysis machine will need to be less than in the blood. If all the blood flows through a single large channel the blood water potential may be more negative than outside, therefore slowing absorption.
