Cholesterol can be packaged into droplets using LDL (low density lipoprotein). Cells that need to take in cholesterol from the LDL droplets have a protein on their membrane called an LDL receptor. This protein binds to the LDL droplet and brings the cholesterol into the cell by forming a vesicle around it. Which method of membrane transport is involved in this process? 1.Diffusion 2.Endocytosis 3.Exocytosis 4.Osmosis

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
