Key Terms Flashcards
Exocytosis
The transport of material out of a cell by means of a sac or vesicle that first engulfs the material and then is extruded through an opening in the cell membrane.
Endocytosis
The transport of solid matter or liquid into a cell by means of a coated vacuole or vesicle.
Protein Trafficking
This process is known as exocytosis.
1 Proteins synthesised
2 Protein enters rER cisternae
3 Protein is folded into 3D shape
4 Vesicles containing proteins pinch off rER
5 Vesicles travel to Golgi Body
6 Vesicles fuse with Golgi Body
7 Protein is modified
8 Vesicles containing modified proteins pinch off the Golgi Body
9 Vesicles move to cell/organelle membrane
10 Vesicles fuse with cell/organelle membrane
11 Contents of vesicles leave cell
