Such cell products are stored in cell structures that are formed from: A) the nucleus, B) from the smooth ER as vesicles, C) are engulfed into the cell by phagocytosis, D) are released from the cell by the process of Exocytosis, E) the lysosomes.arrow_forwardDescribe how proteins enter the endomembrane system through the endoplasmic reticulum, are next sorted by the Golgi Apparatus and how they are targeted and delivered to their final destination (lysosomes, plasma membrane, E.R., etc.)arrow_forwardWhat is Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ?arrow_forward
