Answer:

provides chemical energy

Explanation:

Living cells require energy to perform their various functions. This energy is obtained via the process of RESPIRATION, which is the breakdown of food molecules in order to convert the stored energy in them to a usable form by the cell. The usable form of energy by living cells is Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

ATP is the energy currency of the cell released during cell respiration. ATP is structurally composed of Adenine (a nitrogenous base), Ribose (a pentose sugar) and three phosphate groups. ATP is a high energy carrying molecule that stores energy in the bonds that hold its phosphate group. This energy is released for use by the cell when one of the phosphate groups is released to form Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) molecule.

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.
