Question

Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a form of endocytosis in which receptor proteins on the cell surface are used to capture a specific target molecule i.e. the molecule that the cells need.
However sometimes less friendly particles may gain entry by the same route. Flu, viruses, diphtheria, and cholera toxin all use receptor-mediated endocytosis pathways to gain entry into cells.

Q1 . In the above text the term “Specific Target molecules” has been used. These target molecules are represented by a star in the figure shown above, which are
recognized by the receptors on the surface of plasma membrane. If you are a non
friendly pathogen and want to seek entry into the cell, what would be your strategy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a form of endocytosis in which receptor proteins on the cell surface are used to capture a specific target molecule. The receptors, which are transmembrane proteins, cluster in regions of the plasma membrane known as coated pits.
