Comments A fibroblast kept in resting conditions in a tissue culture plate internalizes an amount of membrane equivalent to the whole surface area of the cell in one hour. Inside the cell, it often takes only seconds for a carrier vesicle to move from the donor membrane to the acceptor organelle. See BNID 105560, 105561, 105562
