CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ are mainly used to move materials between cell organelles, as well as to and from the cell surface
A
vacuole
B
ribosome
C
vesicles
D
lysosome
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: -The organelles that are membrane sacs used to transport molecules are known as vesicles. Vesicles are comprised of a lipid (fat) bilayer that surround a molecule (such as a protein). This lipid bilayer functions to protect the molecule as the vesicle transports the molecule throughout the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to playing this structural role, the cytoskeleton is responsible for cell movements. These include not only the movements of entire cells, but also the internal transport of organelles and other structures (such as mitotic chromosomes) through the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Small membrane bound vesicles responsible for transporting proteins from one organelle to another are commonly found in endocytic and secretory pathways. Vesicles bud from their donor organelle and release the contents of their vesicle by a fusion event in a particular target organelle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vesicular transport between organelles consists of three steps. First, vesicles bud from one organelle (e.g ER). The vesicle must then be targeted to the appropriate organelle (e.g Golgi). Finally, the vesicle must fuse with the target organelle to mix its contents with the contents of the target organelle.
