Vesicles are mainly involved in the transportation of material in/out or within the cell.
They are made of at least one layer of the phospholipid-bilayer; which is the major constituent of the cell membrane.
The term used for the transportion of solid material into the cell is endocytosis; when this happens the vesicle carrying the material will join to the cell membrane and become part of it, releasing its contents into the cytoplasm. Also pinocytosis is a related term to endocytosis and refers to the intake of specifically aqueous material; Vesicles can also transport material within the cell. For example, vesicles transport proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus.
Some veiscles serve as storage vessels as well.

What is the function of phagocytic vesicle?
to break down large food particles into simpler substances for acquiring ATP
What is the process in which a cell discharges substances or waste?
Exocytosis is the process that allows the cell to dispose of wastes. There are five steps that are involved in exocytosis and they include vesicle trafficking, vesicle tethering, vesicle docking, vesicle priming and vesicle fusion.

What is the function of the seminal vesicles in birds?
The main function of seminal vesicle is to manufacture the fluid that makes up around 70% of semen.
What is the function of vesicle in the synthesis of proteins and the release of those proteins outside the cell?
A vesicle is a small membrane-enclosed sac that can store or transport substances. So basically they help transport the protein.
A large vesicle that aids in digestion within plant cells is called?
A large vesicle that aids in digestion within plant cells is called a vacuole. This in additional function in eukaryotic organisms called protists.

What is the function of the vesicles sometimes called a vacuole?
The vacuole is one among the four types of vesicle. The function of vesicles is to organize the substances and they haveÊroles inÊmetabolic processes, nutrient transport, and in storing enzymes.
