An individual transport vesicle________

(a) contains only one type of protein in its lumen.
(b) will fuse with only one type of membrane.
(c) is endocytic if it is traveling toward the plasma membrane.
(d) is enclosed by a membrane with the same lipid and protein composition as the membrane of the donor organelle.


Choice (b) is correct. An individual vesicle may contain more than one type of protein in its lumen [choice (a)], all of which will contain the same sorting signal (or will lack specific sorting signals). Endocytic vesicles [choice (c)] generally move away from the plasma membrane. The vesicle membrane will not necessarily contain the same lipid and protein composition as the donor organelle, because the vesicle is formed from a selected subsection of the organelle membrane from which it budded [choice (d)].
