How Are Proteins Made Packaged and Transported Within the Cell

Vesicles transport the proteins from the ribosomes to the Golgi apparatus, a.k.a Golgi complex, where they are packaged into new vesicles. The vesicles migrate to the membrane and release their protein to the outside of the cell.

How are proteins transported throughout the cell?

From the endoplasmic reticulum, proteins are transported in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus, where they are further processed and sorted for transport to lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion from the cell.

What is protein transported?

Transport proteins generally perform two types of transport: “facilitated diffusion,” where a transport protein simply creates an opening for a substance to diffuse down its concentration gradient; and “active transport,” where the cell expends energy in order to move a substance against its concentration gradient.
