14 Vesicles - Types And Tasks
Update: 2025-04-06
Description
In this episode of BioSpeak, we explore the vital roles of vesicles, the cell’s miniature transport and storage units. Vesicles, composed of a double-layered membrane, are pivotal in cellular transport processes such as endocytosis and exocytosis, enabling protein movement, digestion, detoxification, and cell signaling. We examine the four primary vesicle types—transport, secretory, extracellular, and specialized vesicles like lysosomes and peroxisomes—each fulfilling essential functions within the cell. This episode also covers vesicles’ amphipathic properties, ATP reliance, and unique ability to fuse with other membranes, emphasizing their crucial role in maintaining cellular organization and function.
