Question

The flowchart below shows the pathway a protein takes from its production to its destination either inside or outside the cell.

Ribosomes ----> Rough endoplasmic reticulum ---> vesicle ---> Golgi apparatus ---> vesicle ---> within the cell or outside the cell

Explain where in this pathway the process of exocytosis plays a role.

Answer 1

Exocytosis comes into play when the vesicles show up. During exocytosis, vesicles are trafficked(transported over a small distance), tethering(linking over distances more than half the diameter of the vesicle from a given membrane surface), next is docking(at the cell plasma membrane), then finally is fusion( the release of vesicle contents into the extracellular space). Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The process of exocytosis plays a role during vesicle transport.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exocytosis is a process of secretion of cell contents of the vacuole to the exterior environment.

Vesicle membrane fuses with the cell membrane and releases its content to the different cell compartments.

Thus exocytosis takes place during the transport of protein at the vesicles.
