The mechanism for bringing cholesterol into a cell is
A) mediated by the membrane folding inwards to form a pit.
B) all of the options listed here are correct.
C) more specifically called receptor-mediated endocytosis.
D) initially stimulated by the binding of a receptor molecule on the membrane.
E) involves the protein clathrin coating the internal surface of the membrane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the options listed (A, C, D, E) accurately describe aspects of the process by which cholesterol is brought into a cell, which is through receptor-mediated endocytosis. This process involves the inward folding of the membrane to form a pit (A), is stimulated initially by the binding of a receptor molecule on the membrane (D), involves the protein clathrin coating the internal surface of the membrane (E), and is more specifically called receptor-mediated endocytosis (C).
