These molecules are then taken in by the cell, whose plasma membrane pinches off to create an endosome that carries them into the cytoplasm. Endosomes can also form through the fusion of vesicles ...

What is a prokaryotic cell? Prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms with a simple structure. Unlike other cells, they don’t have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. Instead, most ...
