Dictionary » C » Coated pits Coated pitsSpecialised regions of the cell membrane composed of pits coated with a bristle covering made of the protein clathrin. These pits are the entry route for macromolecules bound by cell surface receptors. The pits are then internalised into the cytoplasm to form the coated vesicles. ![]()

Results from our forumBiology Calculation-is this correct?I realised for the first question on coated pits I did need to do 4x3.14x0.05(squared) so got 2165 for how many coated pits there are :)

Biology Calculation-is this correct?Hey, for the number of transferrin receptors in each coated pit I've got: 100 000 receptors, 70% localised within the coated pits so: 100 000 x 70% = 70 000 receptors in the coated pits. There are 70 000 receptors and 2165 ...

Biology Calculation-is this correct?... a surface area of 3,400 micrometres². Assume that the endocyte clathrin-coated pits account for 2% of this area and that the surface area of a single coated pit is the same ...

Cell Permability... we didnt cover, i guessed so this may be wrong == Mutant cells lacking coated pits would most likely be...? - deficient in receptor mediated endocytosis (my answer) - unable ...
