  2. Vacuole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuole

    The vacuoles of Ophrydium versatile undergo discoidal vesicle membrane recycling to the cytostome, condensing in the process, then associate with rough endoplasmic reticulum, receive protein coating on their cytosolic or exterior face from fusion with cup-shaped coated vesicles and condense again while producing cup-shaped coated vesicles ...

  3. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    They are larger than vesicles and their specific function varies. The operations of vacuoles are different for plant and animal vacuoles. In plant cells, vacuoles cover anywhere from 30% to 90% of the total cell volume. [32] Most mature plant cells contain one large central vacuole encompassed by a membrane called the tonoplast.

  4. Vesicle (biology and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicle_(biology_and...

    In cell biology, a vesicle is a structure within or outside a cell, consisting of liquid or cytoplasm enclosed by a lipid bilayer. Vesicles form naturally during the processes of secretion ( exocytosis ), uptake ( endocytosis ), and the transport of materials within the plasma membrane .

  5. Endosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosome

    Vesicles pass between the Golgi and endosomes in both directions. The GGAs and AP-1 clathrin-coated vesicle adaptors make vesicles at the Golgi that carry molecules to endosomes. [ 18 ] In the opposite direction, retromer generates vesicles at early endosomes that carry molecules back to the Golgi.

  6. Endocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocytosis

    The vesicle then travels into the cytosol and fuses with other vesicles such as endosomes and lysosomes. [ 9 ] Phagocytosis is the process by which cells bind and internalize particulate matter larger than around 0.75 μm in diameter, such as small-sized dust particles, cell debris, microorganisms and apoptotic cells.

  7. Lysosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysosome

    In step two a lysosome with an active hydrolytic enzyme comes into the pictures as the food vacuole moves away from the plasma membrane. Step three consists of the lysosome fusing with the food vacuole and hydrolytic enzymes entering the food vacuole. In the final step, step four, hydrolytic enzymes digest the food particles. [5]

  8. Phagosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phagosome

    In cell biology, a phagosome is a vesicle formed around a particle engulfed by a phagocyte via phagocytosis. Professional phagocytes include macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells (DCs). [1] A phagosome is formed by the fusion of the cell membrane around a microorganism, a senescent cell or an apoptotic cell.

  9. Cellular compartment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_compartment

    Cellular compartments in cell biology comprise all of the closed parts within the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell, usually surrounded by a single or double lipid layer membrane. These compartments are often, but not always, defined as membrane-bound organelles. The formation of cellular compartments is called compartmentalization.
