Chapter 5.5, Problem 2CC
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

- Secretory vesicles fuse with the cell membrane to release their contents to the outside of the cell. In this process, the membrane of the secretory vesicle becomes part of the cell membrane because small pieces of the membrane are continually added to the cell membrane, one would expect the cell membrane to become larger and larger as secretion continues. The cell membrane stays the same size, however. Explain how this happens.arrow_forwardStudents set up an experiment in which they filled dialysis tubing with a 3% starch solution. They tied off the ends of the tubing and placed it in a beaker filled with distilled water and 1% iodine for 3 hours as shown in the diagram. 3% starch solution 1% lodine solution Since dialysis tubing is semi-permeable like the plasma membrane, the bag of white starch solution was bluish- black the next day. What is the best explanation for the results? (1D) O The starch solution diffused into the beaker because the concentration of water is greater in the starch solution than in the iodine solution. The iodine solution diffused into the bag because the concentration of water is greater in the starch solution than in the iodine solution. O The lodine solution diffused into the bag because the concentration of water is greater in the iodine solution than in the starch solution.
