Exocytosis definition

Bulk transport moving large substances out of a cell

Energy form required for exocytosis

ATP

Three stages of exocytosis

Transport to membrane, membrane fusion, release of contents

Why exocytosis is possible

Fluid nature of plasma membrane allows vesicle fusion

Ribosome role in secretory pathway

Synthesises proteins

RER role in secretory pathway

Folds and transports proteins

Golgi apparatus role in secretory pathway

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins

Secretory vesicle role

Transports proteins to plasma membrane for export

Protein secretory pathway sequence

Ribosome→RER→Transport vesicle→Golgi→Secretory vesicle→Exocytosis

Mitochondria role in secretory pathway

Synthesises ATP for energy
