Question
What is membrane biogenesis? How is plasma membrane formed during this process?
✓
Answer
The process of plasma membrane formation is called membrane biogenesis. Following organelles are involved in this process:The proteins and lipids are first synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, respectively. These are then transported to the Golgi complex for their modification. After modification, these are transported to the cell surface through vesicles which bud off from the Golgi complex to fuse with the cell membrane and form a part of the membrane.
