Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Endosomes are vesicles that transport molecules from the cell surface, and can also transport molecules between different compartments within the cell. They can also fuse with lysosomes, which break down and recycle the molecules. So, a bubble-like structure that carries molecules like cholesterol to lysosomes is most likely an endosome.

B) Episome is a genetic element that can replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA.

C) Oprahsome is not a valid term in cell biology.

D) Ectosome is a term used for small vesicles that are released from the plasma membrane of cells.

E) Liposomes are artificially prepared vesicles made of lipids, which can carry drugs or other molecules.
