Summary Introduction

To encircle:

A patch of plasma membrane that is coming from a vesicle involved in exocytosis.

Concept introduction:

Exocytosis is the process by which the macromolecules synthesized in the cell is transported outside the cell.

In this process, the substances synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum are packaged in the Golgi apparatus and then transported through transport vesicle to fuse with the plasma membrane. The fusion of vesicles with the membrane spills the substances outside the cell.

Students have asked these similar questions
Some nutrients and other types of particles can be taken into a cell when the cell's plasma membrane encloses the particles and pinches off, forming a free-floating vesicle inside the cell. A lysosome containing digestive enzymes then fuses with the vesicle. Which term best classifies the uptake of such particles by the cell? Simple diffusion OEndocytosis O Exocytosis Facilitated diffusion
The transportation of relatively small particles or liquids into the cell that are too big or unable to pass through a transport protein is best described as ________.   pinocytosis   phagocytosis   exocytosis   facilitated diffusion   diffusion
Secretory vesicles containing insulin move to the plasma membrane at the cell surface and release the protein to neighboring blood capillaries. Which Cytoskeletal element is essential for this vesicle movement within a cell? Lamins Intermediate filaments Microtubules Microfilaments
