LDLs are taken into a cell by the process of ________.

A) simple diffusion
B) osmosis
C) receptor mediated endocytosis
D) HDL carrier molecules
E) facilitated diffusion

Receptor Mediated Endocytosis

This is a cellular process by which cells absorb metabolites, hormones, proteins – and in some cases viruses – by the inward budding of plasma membrane vesicles containing proteins with receptor sites specific to the molecules being absorbed.

LDLs

Low-density lipoproteins, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, involved in the transport of cholesterol to cells.

Simple Diffusion

The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the need for energy.
