To review:
Match the term endocytosis with the most closely related descriptions given below:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication
Flattened membrane discs, packaging
Adjacent plasma membranes bound by bands of interlocking proteins
Packaging of materials for import into cell
RNA (ribonucleic acid) and protein; protein synthesis
Control center; stores genetic information
Cell vesicles with digestive enzymes
Embedded in the plasma membrane
Internal protein framework in the cytoplasm
Introduction:
The movement into the cell is called as the endocytosis. The process is active and has three forms. The three forms are phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated. The pinocytosis is the process of cell drinking. The phagocytosis is the cell eating. The receptor-mediated endocytosis is the selective movement.

- If a solute to be transported across the plasma membrane is a much larger molecule than an ion or glucose and more like a biopolymer or a dangerous digestive enzyme or a drop of proteins, cells use a completely different type of transport mechanism called ……………………………arrow_forwardc) Figure 3 shows how materials are actively transported across plasma membrane. Extracellular Process X Process Y Figure 3 i) Give two (2) similarities between process X and Y. ii) State two (2) characteristics of a cell that carry out active transport. .... ...... ..... ... ..........arrow_forwarda) Give the two main membrane proteins.b) State a function each of the mentioned protins. c) Explain why change in pH can affect the function of the proteins.arrow_forward
- The nuclear substance composed of histone proteins and DNA is (a) chromatin, (b) the nuclear envelope, (c) nucleoplasm, (d) nuclear pores.arrow_forward.........has highest potential to contribute to the formation of an organism, multipotent stem cells totipotent stem cells pluripotent stem cell unipotent cellarrow_forward1. Lysosome is regarded as a body that is covered by membrane, a little smaller than mitochondrion and functions as storage for several hydrolytic enzymes. The enzymes in lysosome can digest substances that are engulfed by the cell and under certain conditions can destroy the cell itself. (a) Name ONE type of cell in the human body that contains many lysosomes. Explain why the cell contains many lysosomes. (b) State ONE different between the lysosome membrane and the mitochondrion membrane. (c) State ONE special feature of the lysosome membrane. (d) Explain how lysosome acts to release its enzymes in the cell.arrow_forward
- Name the parts of a cell in which the following organelles exist: (a) centrioles, (b) microtubules, (c) nuclear envelope, (d) chromatin. What are their functions?arrow_forwardDiffusion is important in body fluids because this process tends to:(a) increase local concentration gradients. (b) eliminate local concentration gradients. (c) move substances against their concentration gradients. (d) create concentration gradients.arrow_forwardAccording to the concepts of totipotency, pluripotency, and multipotency: 1. Which of the following structure has the most powerful cellular potency: Zygote? Embryo? Or fetus?Explain why.arrow_forward
- Final preparations for cell division are made during this stage of the cell life cycle: (a) G1, (b) G2, (c) M, (d) S.arrow_forwardWhich of the following does not occur during interphase? (a) (b) (c) (d) DNA is replicated. Spindle fibres form. New organelles are formed. The cell size increases.arrow_forwardThere are several different mechanisms of endocytosis. Some mechanisms are selective, some are not selective. Is clathrin-mediated endocytosis selective? a.) Yes, clathrin-mediated endocytosis is selective. b.) No, clathrin-mediated endocytosis is not selective.arrow_forward
