Using the figure below, identify the location where each process occurs.



1 Pockets pinch off, forming endosomes known as coated vesicles.
2 Coated vesicles fuse with primary lysosomes to form secondary lysosomes.
3 Target molecules (ligands bind to receptors in plasmalemma.
4 The endosome fuses with the plasmalemma, and the receptors are again available for ligand binding.
5 The lysosomal and endosomal membranes separate.
6 Areas coated with ligands form deep pockets in plasmalemma surface.
7 Ligands are removed and absorbed into the cytoplasm.
