At any given time it is possible to see endocytotic vesicles docked to intracellular organelles such as those which 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?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids that arrive via vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, it is the most likely destination for transport vesicles formed for the purpose of modifying, synthesizing, packaging, and releasing contents received from the plasma membrane. Peroxisomes are involved in lipid metabolism and a variety of other metabolic functions, but not in modifying proteins or synthesizing and packaging molecules received from the plasma membrane. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down macromolecules that have been taken up by endocytosis or phagocytosis, while mitochondria produce ATP and have no role in membrane transport or modification. Ribosomes are the site of translation of mRNA into amino acid sequences of proteins and not organelles.
