Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle is responsible for the movement of molecules throughout the cell?
A
Ribosomes
B
Nucleus
C
Vesicle
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is responsible for packing proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum into membrane-bound vesicles (tiny compartments of lipid bilayer that store molecules) which then translocate to the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endoplasmic Reticulum The ER has two major functions: Transport: Molecules, such as proteins, can move from place to place inside the ER, much like on an intracellular highway. Synthesis: Ribosomes that are attached to ER, similar to unattached ribosomes, make proteins. Lipids are also produced in the ER.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vesicles inside cells move substances into or out of the cell. Vesicles made in the laboratory can be used to carry drugs to cells in the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transport vesicles The Golgi apparatus identifies specific types of transport vesicle then directs them to where they are needed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vesicular transport is the predominant mechanism for exchange of proteins and lipids between membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells. Golgi-derived COPI-coated vesicles are involved in several vesicular transport steps, including bidirectional transport within the Golgi and recycling to the ER.
