Document Summary

Phagocytosis: endocytosis of large particles, obtain nutrients from digested materials, eliminate pathogens in multicellular organisms. Pinocytosis: endocytosis of dissolved solutes, nonspecific for target molecules. Receptor mediated: endocytosis of ligands, often concentrated together facilitating endocytosis of large quantities of specific ligands. Phagocytosis in immune cells: macrophages in the immune system used phagocytosis, engulf and kill invading pathogens- bacteria, uses chemotaxis to find pathogen and adhere then ingest, digestive enzymes break down and unabsorbed material released via exocytosis. Invagination- during endocytosis, infolding of plasma membrane that results in formation of pocket in cell membrane. Substances are shuttled into, out of, and within a cell through vesicles. In exocytosis, substances are directed out of a cell to be secreted by fusing a vesicle to the cell membrane: endocytosis, substances are engulfed into a cell by the formation of a vesicle around them. Lecture 19 specificity: one receptor for one signal. Affinity: how strongly two interact when they bind.
