Explain the relationship between Golgi complex and exocytosis

What will be an ideal response?


Vesicles with their selected cargo destined for different sites are wrapped in membranes containing different surface proteins. These surface proteins allow the vesicles to "dock" and unload their cargo at the proper location within the cell. Once a vesicle has docked at its target it opens and empties its content. Secretory vesicles release their contents out of the cell in a process called exocytosis.
