bulk transport, amoeboid movement, pseudopods, performed by neurtophils and macrophages
Endocytosis Transport characteristics
bulk transport
pinocytosis
receptor mediated
cholesterol enters a cell
Exocytosis Transport Characteristics
Involved in neurotransmitter release
increases the surface area of the cell membrane
releases proteins produced in golgi complex
Phagocytes are attracted by which of the following?
chemical products of microorganisms
In phagocytosis the digested contents are eliminated by
exocytosis
A lysosome
contains lysozyme and proteases which digest bacteria.
Complement factor C3b coats a bacterium and binds to C3b receptors on phagocytes, making the bacterium more susceptible to being phagocytized.
true or false
true
A phagosome containing the engulfed bacteria combines with a lysosome containing enzymes to produce a phagolysosome.

true or false
true
Toxins, such as cholera toxin, process through the Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum through a process called:
Retrograde Transport
Which of the following is a function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Both steroid hormone production and calcium ion storage.
How does phagocytosis differ from endocytosis?
phagocytosis uses pseudopods to surround and engulf material.
The plasma membrane contains both carbohydrates and proteins.
true or false
true
The process by which cellular products are secreted into the external environment is ________.
exocytosis
A secondary lysosome:
contains partially digested remnants from other organelles and ingested organic material

mitochondria
proteins are produced in what?
the ribosomes
the lattice-work of mircofilaments and microtubules comprise the
cytoskeleton
is the cytoskeleton flexible or rigid?
flexible
Chromatin is threadlike material which:
makes up chromosomes

lysosome
immune cells such as neutrophils attack ____ to protect the body
bacteria
