Another view of the endomembrane system is available. The endomembrane system is the transportation system of the cell. Materials are passed within the cell and moved to the cell membrane where they can be discharged from the cell. Vesicles form from both the ER and Golgi apparatus . Lysosomes are produced from vesicles which pinch off from the Golgi apparatus.
Some vesicles store the products for later use.
