1
Q

What are the 2 ways that bulk movement can occur?

A
  • Endocytosis

- Exocytosis

2
Q

What is Endocytosis?

A
  • Bulk movement INTO the cell

- There’s 3 different kinds of endocytosis

3
Q

What is the mechanism for Endocytosis?

A

-Inward folding (invagination) of membrane gets larger & then pinches off completely= results in membrane-bound vesicle in cytoplasm

4
Q

What are the 3 different types of Endocytosis?

A
  • Phagocytosis
  • Pinocytosis
  • Receptor-Mediated Cytosis
5
Q

What is Phagocytosis?

A
  • Cell eating

- When the Cell ingests solid particles

6
Q

What is Pinocytosis?

A
  • Cell drinking

- When the Cell brings in small liquid droplets

7
Q

What is Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis?

A

-When specific molecule enters the cell bc they are recognized by receptor proteins

8
Q

What is an example of Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis?

A
  • When LDL (low-density lipoprotein), which carries cholesterol & other lipids in the blood is recognized by LDL receptor which removes it from the blood=keeps blood lipids low
  • If LDL isn’t taken out they can accumulate in arteries blocking blood flow= heart attacks
