Facts about the endomembrane system


The endomembrane system is a continuous, membranous system (all the parts are made of the same type of material). Some parts will meld together or break off. For example, a piece of the ER will break off to become a transport vesicle, which carries a protein. The transport vesicle will then fuse with the Golgi. A secretory vesicle will the break off of the Golgi, move through the cytoplasm, and finally fuse with the cell membrane. There are many types of vesicles: lysosome, transport vesicle, secretory vesicle, endocytotic vesicle, and vacuole.
