Final answer:
After losing its clathrin coat, the coated vesicle fuses with an early endosome to form a sorting vesicle, or late endosome. The late endosome separates the imported content and recycles the receptors back to the membrane. The remaining vesicle becomes a lysosome and digests the vesicle contents.
Step-by-step explanation:
After the coated vesicle loses its clathrin and associated adaptor protein coat, it fuses with an early endosome to form a sorting vesicle, also known as a late endosome. The sorting vesicle separates imported content from the receptors which are recycled back to the membrane. The vesicle that remains, now a lysosome, contains digestive enzymes that hydrolyze the vesicle contents, and the resulting digest products are released for cellular use.
