Question

which cellular compartment acts as the main sorting station for extracellular cargo molecules taken up by endocytosis? choose one: golgi apparatus transport vesicles clathrin - coated vesicles endosomes lysosomes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Endosomes receive extracellular cargo via endocytosis and sort them for further transport or degradation. The Golgi apparatus modifies, packages and sorts proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell but is not the main sorting station for endocytosed extracellular cargo. Transport vesicles are involved in moving materials between compartments. Clathrin - coated vesicles are involved in the formation of endocytic vesicles. Lysosomes are for digestion of materials.

Answer:

D. endosomes
