Which statement best describes transcytosis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcytosis involves the transport of an endosome from one side of a cell to the other, and the subsequent release of its contents by exocytosis. This process is commonly observed in polarized cells, such as epithelial cells, where it allows for the selective movement of substances across a tissue barrier. Options A and C describe endosome function in terms of degradation and storage, respectively. Option B describes recycling of endosomal contents, but not necessarily through transcytosis.
