In a eukaryotic cell, which organelle produces transport vesicles for exocytosis?

Correct Answer: A. Golgi Body
The golgi body assists in the processing of proteins by modifying and sorting the protein. In addition, the golgi body is responsible for tagging and dispersing proteins that are destined to leave the cell. These proteins are packaged in transport vesicles that are then taken to the cell membrane, where the vesicle fuses with the membrane and ejects the protein outside of the cell. The ribosome and rough endoplasmic reticulum both help with protein synthesis but are not responsible for vesicle production. The mitochondria is the site of ATP production during cellular respiration and does not directly form vesicles. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is essential in lipid production and detoxifying the cell.
