Endomembrane System and Vesicle-Mediated Transport Quiz

The steps of the exocytic pathway involve cargo selection, where specific molecules are chosen for transport, budding where the vesicle forms and encloses the cargo, scission where the vesicle is released from the donor compartment, and final secretion where the vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane to release its contents.

The cisternae in the Golgi apparatus are classified as cis, medial, and trans.

The cis Golgi network (CGN) is an interconnected network of tubules responsible for receiving molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum and facilitating their modification and sorting.

<p>The trans Golgi network (TGN) is responsible for sorting molecules into distinct tubules and vesicles for further transport to their final destinations within or outside the cell.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The peripheral membrane skeleton in the Golgi apparatus is responsible for supporting the structure and organization of the Golgi compartments, as well as facilitating the modification and sorting of proteins and lipids essential for cellular processes such as signaling, transport, and metabolism.</p> Signup and view all the answers
