Endocrine system is the human organ system that is made up of glands and hormones.

Option A

<u>Explanation</u>:

The "endocrine system" is responsible for secretion of hormones inside the body and it is made up of endocrine glands such as thyroid glands, pituitary glands, pineal gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, ovaries and testes. These glands releases hormones into the blood to target organs which are situated at a distance or into nearby tissue to target nearby cells or to target self. Endocrine glands works by forming negative and positive feedback loops to regulate the proper functioning and effect of the hormone on the target organ or cells and for control the production of hormone from the glands itself.

A small percentage of the body’s iron supply circulates freely in the blood, bound to a protein called transferrin. Transferrin
german

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>
