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: -A vesicle is a small, spherical compartment that is separated from the cytosol by at least one lipid bilayer. 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: -Vesicle function in endocytosis and exocytosis This fusion between vesicles and the plasma membrane facilitates bulk transport both into and out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Golgi apparatus transports molecules out of the cell by exocytosis. Exocytotic vesicles containing protein products are typically derived from an organelle called the Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex.
