Question

Refer to the table below. Target material Function Specificity Example Bacterial eating: white blood cell destruction of foreign cells Phagocytosis Large particles Eating: destroy foreign particles Low Increase fluid Pinocytosis Fluid Low Cell drinking levels in cell Uptake of specific the environment Cholesterol Receptor- mediated endocytosis Large particles macromolecules from High uptake in mammalian cells A student created the table above as a study guide. Evaluate the accuracy of the information shown. The levels of specificity indicated for receptor-mediated endocytosis is not correct All information is accurate. The functions listed in the second column are not accurate. The functions indicated for phagocytosis and pinocytosis are reversed.

Explanation / Answer

All the information is correct:
1) The levels of specificity for receptor-mediated endocytosis is high since specific ligands and receptors participate in it, that is, these receptors have specific binding sites for the molecules.
2) The functions listed in the second column are correct
3) The functions indicated for phagocytosis and pinocytosis are correct, phagocytosis is responsible for eating and destroying surrounding particles, while pinocytosis that comes from the Greek pine = drinking, refers to taking the fluid from the extracellular space and incorporating it into the interior of The cell can also consume small particles such as proteins etc., the fluid is absorbed in the form of small vesicles.
4) For the above the answer is all the information is correct.
