A) diffusion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells acquire low-density lipoproteins through receptor-mediated endocytosis, in which LDLs bind to specific receptors on the cell surface and are internalized into the cell via invagination of the plasma membrane to form vesicles. This process is crucial for regulating and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels in the body.
