The FedEx of the cell are the vesicles. Vesicles are the structures in which many cell materials are packed and transported. Vesicles are cellular organelles that are composed of a lipid bilayer and they function as cellular envelopes to transport cell materials from one place to another inside the cell. An example of one material is protein. After a particular protein has been synthesized in the ribosomes of the cell, it is packaged in a vesicle called a transport vesicle. The vesicle carries this package to the Golgi apparatus for final tweaking after which it is again repacked in a new vesicle which transports it to its required destination in the cell.
