absolute age(true age) The age of a geologic phenomenon measured in present Earth years, rather than its age relative to other geologic phenomena (compare relative age)
Answer:B
Explanation:
The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.
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>
