Cells acquire low-density lipoproteins (LDLs)by
A)diffusion.
B)receptor-mediated endocytosis.
C)pinocytosis.
D)phagocytosis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells acquire low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) through receptor-mediated endocytosis, where the LDLs bind to specific receptors on the cell surface and are engulfed by the cell in a vesicle. Diffusion, pinocytosis, and phagocytosis are not efficient methods for specific uptake of LDLs by cells.
