At any given time it is possible to see endocytotic vesicles docked to intracellular organelles such as those that may receive their contents for modification, synthesis, packaging, and then release. Which organelle would be most likely to be involved in this process as a destination for a transport vesicle formed for this purpose along the plasma membrane?
A) Golgi apparatus
B) peroxisome
C) lysosome
D) mitochondrion
E) ribosome

Question

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, synthesizing, and packaging proteins and lipids received from the endoplasmic reticulum, and then releasing them via transport vesicles to their final destination. Therefore, it is the most likely organelle to be involved in receiving contents from endocytotic vesicles. The other organelles listed (peroxisomes, lysosomes, mitochondria, and ribosomes) do not typically receive contents from endocytotic vesicles formed at the plasma membrane.
