Transferrin is recycled (transferrin cycle)in the following manner: (1)the transferrin-iron complex binds to a transferring receptor on the erythroblast's plasma membrane; (2)the complex moves into the cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis; (3)iron is released (dissociated)from transferrin; and (4)the dissociated transferrin is returned to the bloodstream for reuse.The other options do not present an accurate description of the recycling of erythrocytic iron.
