Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelles are involved in the process called endocytosis?
A
ribosomes
B
vesicles
C
centrioles
D
chloroplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main components that feature in mammalian endocytosis are early endosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes. Early endosomes act as the first compartment of endocytosis. They are found at the cell’s membrane and receive almost all types of vesicles approaching the cell’s surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many vesicles are made in the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum, or are made from parts of the cell membrane. Vesicles from the Golgi apparatus can be seen in the Figure above.

Detailed explanation-3: -In endocytosis, the material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of plasma membrane, which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the ingested material.

Detailed explanation-4: -The endomembrane systems’ members, which participate in the bulk transport of endocytosis and exocytosis, are Golgi bodies, vesicles, and lysosome.

Detailed explanation-5: -In this process, the material to be ingested is progressively enclosed by a small portion of the plasma membrane, which first invaginates and then pinches off to form an endocytic vesicle containing the ingested substance or particle.
