Transport of substances from the blood into the hepatocyte occurs through the sinusoidal membrane. The following statement(s) is/are true concerning this plasma membrane.
A. The high lipid content of this phospholipid bilayer allows lipid-soluble molecules to enter the cell by simple diffusion
B. Carrier proteins within the phospholipid bilayer bind to a solute in blood and by conformational change allow it to be transported into the cell
C. Large glycoprotein molecules of the sinusoidal membrane known as receptors always transport the binding ligand into the cell
D. The transmission of a signal to the interior of the cell by receptor-ligand binding which generates intracellular second messengers is known as signal transduction
