Which of the following is directly involved in the transportation of materials inside/within the cell?
A
Endoplasmic Reticulum
B
Vacuole
C
Lysosome
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transport vesicles are able to move molecules between locations inside the cell. For example, transport vesicles move proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Lysosomes are vesicles that are formed by the Golgi apparatus.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the transport network for molecules targeted for certain modifications and specific destinations, as compared to molecules that will float freely in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -From the endoplasmic reticulum, proteins are transported in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus, where they are further processed and sorted for transport to lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion from the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -In eukaryotic cells, the organelle responsible for transport of substance is endoplasmic reticulum.
