Q

What are the three ways proteins are transported into organelles?

A
  1. Proteins moving from the cytosol to the nucleus are transfered through the nuclear pores
  2. Proteins moving from the cytosol to the ER, mitchondria, or chlorplast are transported by protein translocators
  3. Proteins moving from the ER or from one part of the endomembrane system to another are transported by transport vesicles

A

Transport Vesicles

25
Q

___________ allows materials to exit / enter the cell by endocytosis or exocytosis

A

Vesicular Transport

26
Q

Vesicles budding is driven by the assembly of a ____________

A

Protein Coat

27
Q

Coated vesicles

A

Vesicles that have a protein coat
